Jenn’s writing on the topics of retirement, annuities and financial planning is both engaging and thorough. Each time I have worked with Jenn she has made an effort to not only understand complex topics but find the best ways to convey that knowledge to her readers, which is no easy feat with products as varied and nuanced as annuities.

Q&A with Jennifer
Annuities are a super diverse range of products that can serve a variety of purposes. They can be an incredibly valuable resource for income in retirement. The contracts can be complex, but don’t let that deter you from learning more about annuities.
If you’re a conservative investor who wants predictable returns and a guaranteed income stream when you retire, an annuity could be a great option. There are many types of annuities, so certain products may be right for some investors but not for others. And if you’re still a few decades away from retirement, an annuity probably isn’t right for you.
Because they tend to live longer than men and are usually caregivers themselves, women are more likely to need long-term care services and less likely to afford them. Women also tend to have less money saved for retirement, and costly long-term care services can quickly deplete those savings. For women, the importance of long-term care insurance coverage should not be overlooked.
