Annuities are worked out (crudely) on the balance between investment amount & life expectancy; the shorter your life expectancy the higher the annual payment.

To find those already already on annuities could live much longer is a bit of a problem for these firms... but future payments may be reduced too!

It's not mentioned often enough how much #healthinsurance premiums have increased since the #COVID19 emergency was declared over in 2023, a year after the #LetItRip policy of eugenics as #publichealth became normalized. Or that #lifeinsurance companies may refuse to issue a policy to recent infectees.

Life insurer #MassMutual is rolling out free genetic testing for members

The #billionaire’s guide to doing #taxes
How the very rich lose money, overvalue art, buy very expensive #lifeinsurance, and somehow #profit.
Do you want to pay less taxes? Great. Step one, be rich. Then, buy a yacht. Or a sports team. Give a lot to charity. Lose some money in the stock market. Above all, make sure most of your money exists in the form of assets, not cash — stocks, real estate, a Dutch master painting, fine jewelry, or whatever else strikes your fancy.
