I was buying an annuity from Security Benefits. They have only an A- rating but are owned by Guggenheim Partners who I think might be more secure. I have been concerned about the rating as well as the value of $10,000 in seven years when I start to receive income but have not found an annuity that has an increase in income for inflation. I have about $167k now and am a little nervous about giving up $100k but do want and need a **guaranteed income for life. I think you are familiar with the Secure Income Annuity. Can I be 95% certain that Security Benefits is not going to fail? Should I bite the bullet? Or can I do better by using $112 which I currently have in mutual funds to purchase stocks, and hopefully increase it to $200k in 7 years and still ahve control of my $100K? Charles Schwab and Raymond James didn’t believe that they could do better and of course can’t **guarantee anything. Please, give me your opinion on the Secure Income Annuity. I’ve looked at the Total Value as well, so if you can comment on that one, I would be grateful. Sincerely, Jane McCullough
