I should think one very important point should be added to the list:
Learn about differences in costs of insurance products offered by
different companies. Then shop around, being careful to compare
equivalent products and not apples to oranges. Examine closely the
costs of the indexing feature of annuities in comparison to growth
possibiities of other financial products. Make good use of the
internet. Ask many, many questions and do much research before you buy.
