Deciding on annuity payout strategy

I have a fixed index annuity with a $79k surrender value, policy renewal on March 14, and annual payment for life at $5,772.

What I wish I knew
"I should have considered my options more carefully before policy renewal"
If I could tell you one thing
"Consider your options carefully before policy renewal to avoid regret"
