When you have a new hard drive, or when you're reinstalling Windows, the OS may ask you to format the drive. If given a choice, the two common modes are NTFS and FAT32. But what are those, and why would you choose one over the other? We break down the differences between FAT32 vs. NTFS..
Between the ages of 45 and 55, an annuity investor is usually able to take on more risk with his or her investments, as there will be more time to make up for any losses. He or she also has a number of annuity options that are suited for individual financial goals and risk tolerance.
Let's look at an example to see why RMDs would not work for an immediate annuity. If you transferred $100,000 to the IRA annuity at age 70 you may receive $7,000 a year, or 7% of the premium in annual income (you can get an instant calculation of the annual income on our home page).But at age 70 the RMD table calls for only a 3.5% annual distribution, which is just $3,500.et, the RMD table does not require a 7% withdrawal from IRA holdings until you reached age 85. Of course,if you live beyond age 85 those same 7% ($7,000) level annual payments generated by the annuity would no longer keep pace with the annually increasing percentage of IRA assets that the RMD tables required.
