- You need to replace income from your regular paycheck
- You want the peace of mind that your investment won't decline in value
- You want an alternative to a certificate of deposit
- You want to build money tax deferred to use at a later date
- You have non-qualified funds to invest

- Everyday living expenses
- Supplement Social Security payments or other income sources you may have
- Fund a grandchild's education
- Contribute to charity
