If someone appears to be repeatedly personal, lean towards patience as they might not mean offense. If you are sure, however, then do not deepen the problem by being negative; instead, simply place them on ignore by clicking the unhappy yellow face to the right of their name.

...at times I check annuity payouts and what was paying out $577 a month is down to $533.

How are the payouts calculated? If they're calculated based on current rates, maybe interest rates have peaked, even if only briefly in a still rising trend. If they're calculated on expectations of future rates, maybe interest rates haven't peaked, and the expectations are optimistic.
