On Blueprint, for my State, I came up with the highest of $7338 for a single female. However, I would not write that contract since the insurance company is not at the highest ranking.Looks like you had a data input error.Amazing how much has changed even in the last year. From blueprintI would do 50/50Bogleheads:
Assume a single woman age 65 and in average health has accumulated a 1 million dollar portfolio--50% bonds in an IRA and 50% stocks in a taxable account. Could it make sense to purchase an immediate single premium lifetime annuity (SPIA) with her entire portfolio (except a small portion for unexpected expense)?
According to immediate annuities.com she would begin receiving a guaranteed monthly allowance of $5.810 for the rest of her life.
Thank you for your comments (especially about tax ramifications).
Taylor
50% in SPIA for pension like income
50% in 60/40 balanced fund to beat inflation
For 65 year olds
Male $7,790
Female $7,513
For 55 year olds
Male $6,661
Female $6,517
When I look up quotes for 65-year-olds (a 1959 birthdate) they are.
Male $6376
Female $6115
Much closer to the $5810 for a female that Taylor got. I can replicate your quote for a 65-year-old man by setting his birthdate to 1949, which makes him actually 75!
Highest payout and highest rated insurance company was New York Life at $6844 per year for a 65 YO female with refund at death. About a 15% increase over Taylors quote from almost a year ago.
With regard to Taylor's OP, it would not make sense to go all in on the SPIA. Be that as it may, this is a personal decision, in my case, 25% of the portfolio would go towards the SPIA which is basically de-risking by moving the risk to the insurance company.
The remaining 75% of the portfolio would stay at 50/50.
