 And annuities come in all shapes and sizes, so you want to be careful there. There's also what's called a charitable annuity. It allows you to get a tax deduction for a certain percentage that you put in there. You don't get a full tax deduction because you're going to be getting income in exchange, but you get a tax deduction, help out your favorite charity, and get a check for your lifetime or your lifetime and a survivor's lifetime, beneficiary's lifetime. So something you may want to consider. It's not good for everybody, but to answer your question, it is a way to get a guaranteed check for your lifetime.
