Can you answer Sarah L’s question about Annuities?:

Let’s say I have $100,000 to invest; say the annuity would pay me 5%.
I guess it would be a fixed-rate type in this case. After the commission is taken out, how do I figure the bottom line of what I am making, so I can compare it to another fixed-rate product?
To figure the tax, would I just use the tax bracket I expect to be in this year and get a % from that and deduct that from the yield figure I got from dividing what I got yearly by what I invested?

Cash For Structured Settlement Payments

Can you answer daisy’s question about Annuities?:

I have about $50,000 in a tax-deferred annuity that earns 8.25% interest. I am allowed to borrow from this as a first time home buyer. I then have to pay 8.25% interest on the loan but I pay it back to myself. Is this smarter then taking out a regular loan? I am 29, and I want to be very secure in retirement.
