What is the story? The image quality is illegible. Inflation requiring more money to retire? Or good markets yielding better returns?
All the ads are from the same company. From 1950 to 1960 the amount of annuity payments has to increase by 50% for the guy to be able to retire in comfort. Hopefully, his SS payments are helping him keep up with the increasing cost of living.
I am not anti-annuity. They have their place in some retirement plans. But they are not 'risk free'. They are subject to losing buying power. No surprises there.
