Annuities may be a better investment than a Certificate of Deposit. The interest rate paid on an annuity is typcially higher than that paid on a Certificate of Deposit (CD). However a Certificate of Deposit is easier to set up - just visit your local bank. When the time comes to cash out a CD is also easier to close.
Certificates of deposit are a good idea because they are a high interest deposit and offer a higher interest rate than a savings account and treasury bills and notes.

Interest on a certificate of deposit (CD) is earned through the bank paying you a fixed rate of interest on the money you deposit for a set period of time. The interest is typically higher than a regular savings account because you agree to keep your money in the CD for a specific term.

In a regular savings account, the funds are always available for withdrawl. As a result, savings accounts generally have a low rate of interest.

The funds are not available until the certificate has matured, therefore, it has a slightly higher rate of interest than a savings account.
One disadvantage of a Certificate of Deposit is that the money is there, but the customer cannot use it. If the money is drawn out earlier than the due date, monetary penalties will be assessed and the customer will actually lose money.

When you put money in a savings account, you can draw it out at any time. In a certificate of deposit, you agree to leave it in the bank for a certain period of time.
