Each annuity has its own requirements. Many annuities must be opened with at least $20,000 (with no maximum).
What money can I use to open an annuity?
You can transfer a portion of:
- everyday savings from your local bank
- maturing CD’s
- 401(k) or 403(b) or TSP from a prior job (or sometimes current job if you’re over age 59 ½)
- IRA account (usually not affiliated with any employer)
- inheritance or life insurance death benefit
- real estate proceeds, lawsuit proceeds, lump-sum pension payout, etc.

Real-Life Benefits
Maggie is worried she will never receive Social Security.
She opens an annuity at age 40 with $28,000. That’s half of her old 401(k).
Maggie plans to activate a lifetime income benefit at age 65 and will receive at least $25,000 every year during retirement.
Anthony is age 69 and will retire next year. Today he transfers most of his IRA savings – $350,000 out of $575,000 – into an annuity.
At age 70 the policy will start paying Anthony $32,000 per year for the rest of his life.
When he passes away, Anthony’s children will receive whatever money remains in the account. This will be handled outside of probate.
Pamela received $100,000 from an insurance policy when her mom passed away. She buys an annuity to give herself more long-term financial security. Pamela is age 52.
