I guess you have some sort of fetish for  this phrase but on a quick
  search it doesn't seem to be catching on with anyone else at vpFREE...
  and the linguistic tic aside, while I admit to only knowing the
  general idea of how an annuity works, it's not clear to me this is
  such the holy grail, i.e.
  
  - I doubt very many people would want to "get out of gambling forever"
  (whether for enjoyment or intellectual challenge reasons)
  
  - for those that did, whether an annuity is a gain over parking it in
  some safe conservative investment even if they were that risk averse,
  and
  
  - is $1MM really enough (see Dec 2014 post below)?  we're talking
  about a never-have-to-work-again annuity, right?  maybe for the right
  set of age and life circumstances?
  
  I mean having a non-linear utility curve is fine and all but it seems
  weird to be willing to take longshots with multiple-lifetime cycles
  when your bankroll is small and then take like no risk whatsoever with
  a gigantic bankroll.
