Life, annuity and heath exam???

08 Jun

Has anyone taken the L&H exam? I am taking it in a few days d it seems very simple, but people have told me that it is harder then it looks. I have my Series 7, 63 and 65, but I need the L&H now because of annuity products (why health, I have no clue, but my boss wants me to have it). What are some key points that I should be studying, and what sections does the exam focus on? Is it as hard as the 7,63, 65 (66), I can’t imagine that it is, but….the 65 looked simple in the books, and was a tricky exam. FYI, this is Virginia L&H, but I think the exams are similar in all states. Thanks

Child beneficiary of deceased grandmothers annuity, what now?

07 Jun

We have just been notified by a bank that our 17 year old college bound daughter is the beneficiary of a sizable annuity. It will cover almost all college costs. We don’t even know what to do next. We were going to apply for financial aide for college expenses. Now she will have money and we don’t even know if we want or have to tell her yet (though we are pretty sure that college would still be her primary choice). She wont start college until next July. We want whatever is best for her. Should we somehow invest this for her, or pay the college off and get a loan for her housing and other expenses while persuing her degree?

Are annuity health insurance premiums deductible?

06 Jun

My husband gets a government pension. His health insurance premiums are deducted from the annuity payments each month. (I don’t know yet if the premiums are paid with pre-tax or post-tax dollars, looking into it.) Are those premiums deductible in the medical expenses area of our federal income taxes?

How much should I contribute to my annuity?

06 Jun

I recently purchased an annuity.

My initial purchase was $10,000.00
I’m wondering how this works. Do I add money to it monthly? weekly?
What do people usually do?
I want to make the best of this annuity so that when I’m much older (30 years old now)…say 65 I will be able to have a nice fixed income.

Thank you,
Steve

Variable Annuity: good or bad?

05 Jun

I’ve signed up for a variable annuity mutual fund and the more I research it the more leary I am. My financial advisor says I’m gauranteed a 7% return but I have to let it sit there for 8 years and at the end theres a 1.2% reduction for the advisor. Is this a bad idea? I first jumped into it because of the drastic swings in the market but now I feel I’m getting ripped off. Any advice will be appreciated.
