Since the annuity (tax shelter) itself has a fee, plus the mutual fund company's fees and other fees associated with the
investments themselves, annuities are the more expensive tax shelters for retirement, compared to 401K
type plans, IRA's (including
ROTH), and other options.
For example, under
investment accounts, you might want to create a subcategory of different
types of retirement accounts (
Roths, Traditional IRAs, pension plans, etc.).
