One financial challenge Baby Boomers face as they near retirement will be adequately converting their savings into income that can last through a retirement that may be over 30 years long. TIAA-CREF has published a new article, Systematic Withdrawals vs. Income Annuity Payments, which examines the possible advantages of life annuities as an alternative to systematic withdrawals from retirement savings accounts.
"Retirement requires a change in how people think about their money. Low cost annuities can, and in many situations, should, play a big part in generating and guaranteeing retirement income," said Maliz Beams, TIAA-CREF's Executive Vice President for Individual Client Services. "A low cost life annuity is often the clear choice for maximizing and guaranteeing retirement income."
