That annuity holy shit.  
  
 Imagine dropping $18,000 instead of $1,800 and just banking that $27,600/year for life. Incredible.  
  
 Even that fixed rate account handily beats the stock market and is guaranteed for as long as that bank exists. Absolutely incredible.  
  
 Shows what we're missing. I came of age financially in 2009, and can't fathom even the screenshot OP posted.

Yeah my friends parents were telling me the other day they were able to buy their house because they’d invested in bonds paying 27%, which sounded completely fucking insane. Didn’t believe it at all but looked it up and interest rates really were fucking ridiculous
