Question

Met Life Annuity plan


Sent to General Experts August 13, 2006 9:10 p.m.

I am a 55 year old recently-retired male. My broker suggested that I roll-over my 403B monies (approx. $87K) to an IRA. Because I no longer make contributions to this plan as I no longer work for that employer, I did roll it over. She is now putting the monies into a Met Life Annuity Plan. I think she mentioned I will earn 6%. I stressed to her in the past that I no longer want my monies put into aggressive stocks so my portfolio is basically giving me quarterly dividends. They are not in growth stocks as per my wishes. I currently have about $200K in liquid monies. Does this Annuity Plan sound ok to you? Thanks.
