I was thinking about this like a lotto winner where the vast majority take the lump sum now even though that means less in their pocket then annuity.

And I was tired of confusing a paycheck with peace.Over the past few years, I stacked the kind of skills the system never taught us:Closed over 140 real estate dealsCompleted two years of law school—sharpening my knowledge of contracts and strategyGot licensed in multiple lines of insurance (life, health, annuities, P&C)Learned how to be the bank—not just borrow from oneBuilt frameworks, coached others, and watched lives transformAnd yet… I was still shrinking myself.Still sitting on a mission while knowing I was built for more.So I walked away.On 3/31, I chose freedom over familiarity.And within weeks, I joined a mastermind led by Tony Robbins, *************, Lisa Nichols, and other icons—because if I was betting on myself, I was going all in.This isn’t just a story about quitting.It’s about stepping into a mission:To teach real estate, financial literacy, and digital strategy to those who’ve been overlooked, underestimated, or simply over it.To build something that outlives me.To help others remember what thriving feels like.For the first-gens.For the legacy-minded.For the ones who know they were never crazy—they were just early.What we do next is everything.— Brandy JohnsonFrom Survival to Strategy, take the first step!

My MIL has a paid off house, her only 2 sources of income are ss and an annuity.

I referred her to a New York Like insurance agent and the agent sold her an annuity.

IMO better options- If you don't need the money in the next 10+ years look into Annuities I'm seeing 7-9% and you don't have to participate in market downturns.

I understand annuities, bonds, bank accounts but bitcoin?

You can throw that $550k into an annuity (or similar) and get a decent (and very safe) return.

1099, social security, trust payments, annuities, etc?

The remainder is primarily in annuities, bonds and cash related vehicles.
