Retirees struggle to understand annuity funding rules and optimize retirement income from multiple sources

People nearing or in retirement are confused about whether they can fund annuities from savings, investments, or other sources beyond their pension, or if they're restricted to pension-only funding. This creates decision paralysis and fear of making costly mistakes with limited retirement capital. Current financial resources are fragmented and don't clearly explain the rules, options, and tax implications for different funding scenarios.
