response = userEntry.findInLine(".").charAt(0);
If there is "." in the scanner line findInLine() will return null
and charAt(0) on null will generate your null pointer exception
you propably mean
response = userEntry.nextLine().charAt(0);

I tried updating the code to your suggestion, but I am still getting an exception. Here is what the exception says:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: 0
at java.lang.String.charAt(String.java:687)
at AnnuityV4.AnotherAnnuity(AnnuityV4.java:98)
Do you have another Annuity? at AnnuityV4.main(AnnuityV4.java:37)
Java Result: 1
Please help. Thanks!

I did exactly as suggested in your reply but I am still getting error messages that look like this:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: 0
Your ending balance is $1,236.64
at java.lang.String.charAt(String.java:687)

Do you have another Annuity? at AnnuityV5.main(AnnuityV5.java:36)
Java Result: 1
My code is below so you can see it. Please let me know what I am doing wrong.

Hi
One quick fix would be to replace the following code,
[code]
public static void AnotherAnnuity() {
System.out.print("Do you have another Annuity? ");
//newResponse = userEntry.nextLine().charAt(0);
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
newResponse = sc.next().charAt(0);
[code]
The most likely reason for the error, is that the program doesn't wait for user input when it reaches that point. This code might help.
Another thing is you didn't mentioned if you are familiar with exception handling. If you are, then you can try catching the exception and probable print it to see exactly what went wrong.

You still haven't fixed the findInLine issue on line 22, you should change that to nextLine() like the others have said.
Once you fix this, the program should work fine for you.
// Line 22 should be... response = userEntry.nextLine().charAt(0);
Once you fix this, the program should work fine for you.
