What to Do Now

The first thing to do is relax a little bit. Statistically, it's highly likely that any annuities you currently own will continue without problems. But whether you are currently invested in annuities or are considering them, be sure to research the fiscal strength of the company providing the annuity to avoid any problem.

The best way to do that is through some of the ratings services available to all of us. Our favorites are www.ambest.com and www.moodys.com.

Check them out just to make sure your annuity company is on sound financial footing. And stay tuned! We're working on an article now to show you how to get out of an annuity if you find that the insurance company is financially shaky.

Better to be safe than sorry!
