Today I received a refund check of $50 after making another deposit a couple of weeks ago to my Roth IRA annuity. Apparently I have maxed out the contribution for the year.
This Roth pays a fixed 3% currently. I’m told it’s called an “annuity” because it cannot lose money, although the rate of return going forward can be adjusted up or down. It’s not a case of it paying out fixed amounts at set times as is the way I think of an annuity.
Any recommendations of another place I can get this kind of return without worrying about market fluctuations and the possibility of losing money?
I plan to access the money, although not the earnings, in 4 years to fund the down payment on a home. I need a safe place to contribute money over the next 4 years.
Suggestions?
