Hello! Happy to join here, this place comes highly recommended and I have plenty of questions.
Ask away!
Welcome to retirement DrgLrd!
I'm just curious given your screen name how you acquired that $1m of cash... and if it is 100s or 50s or 20s or in a bank (hopefully more than one bank given the FDIC limits).
"50, just retired, $1m cash"
$1M is 10,000 Benjamins.
That's 10 stacks of 1,000 Benjamins each, each stack being about 5" high.
Why do you like annuities as your gameplan?
OP, are you in the US? Will you be getting Social Security at some point?
I'm a citizen but living outside the US, is there any way to check if I will get SS and how much? It was only taken out when I was working part time, not when I started working for myself.
Here’s a SSA publication that covers pension eligibility for individuals living outside the US. https://www.ssa.gov/pubs/EN-05-10137.pdf
Anything like a website where I can plug in my SS# and get personal info? Because if not I have no idea, I will have to contact them directly I guess.

This tool on the Social Security site is not precise, but gives pretty good estimates based on your personal earnings record.
