You can buy an immediate annuity that has guaranteed income until you die with different options:

A) guaranteed life

B) guaranteed life of you or your spouse

C) guaranteed life with a return of the unused amount

D) guaranteed life with a guaranteed x year certain

Of course the different options you choose affect your monthly payout.
