How bizarre is that? I credit my amazing financial advisor.

Financial advisors and annuities are routinely trashed here, unfortunately. I have a financial advisor, I've had him since about 2000, and he got me into two different annuities. I've been taking income from them for several years, and the return is far better than any other investment might have been.

He's also made sure that my investments are widely spread. That helps.

It helps a lot to also be invested in non-US markets.
