Pay regularly using an annuity

Singaporeans donated $70,000 to the parent of the Nepalese twin (Gangga and Jammu) to take care of their expenses for 8 years. The parents claimed that they did not receive the money.

It would have been better if the money had been given to the parent in the form of a monthly annuity. The monthly payment could have been around $800. This will ensure that the money is used for the living expenses, and not used for other purpose.

A 8 year term annuity is suitable for this purpose. Technically, this is called an "annnuity certain", but I prefer to create a new name, called the term annuity.
