Your market investments are Monty Carlo returns, like mentioned. My annunity pays out min 7% for life. Your principle is locked in the market to make the dividends also. What I do not withdraw, my heirs get! I know exactly the payout any year from day one. Adds certainty to planning. A little bit of each is the way to go.

Must be a variable annuity or an income annuity that you purchased long ago. No income annuities lay that today.

Yes, agree blending the two approaches makes a lot of sense!

FIA annuity with income rider (the magic). The deals are still there. Was looking a few months ago to park some money. It all boils down to how much you gonna pay me guarenteed and when. YOC is comparable to CEFs.
