We occasionally publish articles from guest writers. So, when we came across the following article by the pensions guru Steve Bee it was obvious that it would help some of our visitors to understand annuities a little better. With Steve’s kind permission we are publishing the article here.

If you enjoy the style, you may care to visit Steve’s own blog http://www.jargonfreepensions.co.uk/. You will gather that making pensions understandable is just one of Steve’s talents, he is also an acomplished cartoonist!
