Why not just keep it in a high-yield savings account instead?

I recall a practice question similar to this, and I think the immediate annuity was the right choice for someone looking for immediate income.

I think the answer might be C, a single-payment immediate annuity, because she wants to start receiving payments right away until she gets Social Security.

I'm a bit unsure about the difference between single-payment and periodic-payment annuities. Wouldn't she want the single-payment one since she has a lump sum?

I remember studying that immediate annuities start paying right away, which seems to fit Ms. Antsy's need for immediate withdrawals.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. Is it really that simple? I feel like there could be some trick to it that I'm missing.

Security requirements are definitely key for this process. I feel pretty confident that option A is the right answer here.

I'm not totally sure, but I feel like scheduling additional preventive maintenance could slow things down at the bottleneck.
