Is a planner trying to swindle my mom?

Published by businesstech at 4:29 pm under 1 Edit This

Question: My 63-year-old mother earns about $1,200 a month, has $90,000 in savings and, as a result of a recent refinancing, has a $90,000 30-year mortgage. In three years she will begin collecting an estimated $1,300 a month from Social Security. A financial adviser suggests she put $60,000 into a variable annuity that is guaranteed to double in value in 10 years. Is this a good idea? –David, Denver, Colorado
