DEFERRED ANNUITIES:
If you trust the Oracle of Omaha, this is a good place to start seeing how it works if you are thinking about buying a single premium deferred annuity.

To test it use a starting age (date of birth) of 71 or more and start the first payment after age 80 or older.
I tried it and if you give it a try and you enter the proper information, it does permit withdrawals to begin after age 70½.


If you are thinking of buying one, do some comparisons with Vanguard and T. Rowe Price and other companies selling annuities.
