Subject: Annuities question
I was at the neurologist’s office recently getting some brain scans done. (Fun times!)

The sonogram tech asked me what I did for a living and I said retired. She told me she had a side business of financial consulting and she could help me out with my retirement goals. She offered to sell me some annuities that would yield 6-12%.

A lot of very colorful words passed through my mind, but I just simply declined and said my finances were already in order.

Just in case, though, I thought I would run this question by the group. Generally speaking, is it a good or bad idea for someone with mild brain damage to buy annuities from a sonogram technician?
