Why Merritt Residents Are Turning to Annuities
With its central BC location, scenic views, and laid-back lifestyle, Merritt is a popular destination for retirees who appreciate open space and a strong sense of community. But like retirees everywhere, Merritt residents face challenges like market volatility, inflation, and longer life expectancy. That’s where annuities can help. Annuities provide:
- Guaranteed income for life or a fixed term
- Protection from investment market risk
- Options to support a spouse with joint payouts
- Tax-efficient income, especially from non-registered savings
Annuities are designed to take the guesswork out of retirement planning and provide steady, hands-off income.
What Is an Annuity?
An annuity is a financial contract with a life insurance company. You invest a lump sum—typically from your RRSP, RRIF, TFSA, or non-registered account—and receive regular, scheduled payments in return. These payments can last for a specified number of years or for the rest of your life.
- Life Annuities – income that lasts as long as you do
- Joint Life Annuities – continues income for your spouse after your passing
- Term-Certain Annuities – provides fixed income for a set number of years
- Indexed Annuities – income that increases annually to account for inflation
