What about a Universal Indexed Life Insurance, this will increase 5%-6% and can evantually be used as invesment, Tax Free and will have a Life Insurance for life.. What are your thoughts??

[@pondboy3682]

@RC Marti universal isn't whole life; it's term with automatic renewal and the fees go up every year. Over 90% of the time, the investment money is eaten up by the renewal fees by the time you die. I'd recommend Jaspreet's strategy (shared by many) over universal life. Jaspreet is incorrect about whole life insurance, though. If you want to learn howe to use insurance properly, you need to read/hear all books by R. Nelson Nash, and _What Would Billionaires Do_ by Garrett Gunderson.

[@jodyjones3156]

This is an overall good and safe analysis. But we can add a few details. They won't flip one's opinion one way or the other, but I'd like to add some important details to consider. Again, not knocking safe info for general investing and whole life plans are NOT for everyone. I'm adding, not arguing. :) In the larger goal of generating wealth, a whole life plan offers liquidity and *utility, not appreciation. 1) With a whole life policy you have *enforced savings. That's nothing to downplay. How much would many of us have if we HAD to pay ourselves as religiously as we pay our mortgage for a decade? When you sign a whole life policy, this is what you're achieving. Persistent weight loss, quitting smoking, going to the gym are all great goals we all fail at b/c we leave it up to discipline. 2) After a year or so, your whole life plan would have a cash value that is a fraction of the death benefit value. It is immediately available for you to take out as a loan at all times ... ... 2a) That money is yours. There is no tax paid to the distribution. ... 2b) That money is yours. There is no application, approval, or credit check. ... 2c) That money is yours, not directly tied to a market security or stock. There is no "down market risk" where you can't take out your $10k b/c some ETF is -40% down this quarter. So, here's where the utility comes in: The fastest way to riches is to start a business - your whole life plan is your start up loan b/c banks don't lend easily to first time businesses. Did C-19 disrupt revenue - your whole life plan can pay your rent before you have to vacate. The market crashes by some once-in-a-century number, and you're fortunately still employed - your whole life plan is the hoard of dry powder you use to buy Apple at 60 % off. Whole life plans aren't for everyone, but those who own them benefit from using them in these ways.

When the market averages 10% that does not mean u can use a calculator and put 10% a year and be accurate. Because when 100k drops by 10% then goes up 10% it does not go back to 100k. Those drops make a difference and interrupt the compounding. Also there’s taxes.

I wholeheartedly agree. Life insurance is not an investment Point Blank. There's a few things that you didn't consider though. 1) the life expectancy of a black man in the United States is totally different Also with whole life insurance there are two aspects that you didn't mention 2) when you invest amount that you used in your example every month after 5 years you stop paying into it and it pays for itself 3) you can borrow against the cast value in your life insurance for a low interest rate. Why you do this you are still earning dividends from the Mutual life insurance company. So you're not really the best in that same amount for 48 years just to get a million bucks

[@pondboy3682]

R. Nelson Nash - _Become Your Own Banker_ Garrett Gunderson - _What Would the Rockefellers Do_ Neither are insurance salesmen, although Gunderson was one back in the 1990s. Read them and address their points, please! You've missed the point again! Whole life insurance is not an investment, even to them, but after a few costly years, it far surpasses a savings account, and you can approve your own loans, and make dividends from the interest you pay, as well as dividends from all your cash value that doesn't drop unless you die without paying the loan. It's also a safe shelter for weathering market crisis, but doesn't stop you from either borrowing against or withdrawing your cash value to invest when opportunity knocks.

[@nolanroesler4126]

Sadly, this is something that Jaspreet is not willing to address. R. Nelson Nash and Garrett Gunderson present how a whole life insurance policy when properly structured is actually a great foundation for financial independence. I would also recommend reading The Case for IBC by R. Nelson Nash, L. Carlos Lara, and Robert P. Murphy PhD. What are the attributes of Dividend Paying Whole Life Insurance especially when designed with High Cash Value in the beginning: 1) Consistent Rate of Return 2) Conservative (Safe) 3) Liquid 4) Guaranteed 5) Tax Benefits (Tax Free) 6) No Market Volatility 7) Yields Income Besides Capital Gain 8) Creditor Protected 9) Inflation Protected 10) Control 11) Transferable 12) Easy to Manage 13) No Hidden Fees or Penalties 14) Legal 15) Private

[@nolanroesler4126]

Also to all the buy term and invest the difference folks. You do realize that when you self-insurance that you prevent that money from ever being used. In other words, if I have a term life insurance policy of $2M and I decide to get rid of it because I accumulated $2M of stocks, real estate, etc. That means that the entire $2M of wealth that I accumulated is now at risk once I die. That $2M can never be used because if I die, the people who depend on me will only have that $2M of accumulated wealth to live off, since I don't have a policy to transfer the risk of me no longer being around to provide. As Garrett Gunderson says in Sacred Cows, " When it comes to risk, we have just two options: we can either retain it or transfer it."

[@boomerleo89]

Too keep it simple, imagine investing yourself with a broker or on your own into index funds. So you range from .26% and up from there depending on the company for how much you invest. Again basic, there is more to this. Now with an IUL you pay X Dollars to this policy. First thing out are fees to the company Second is premium Third goes into retirement Then you can loan against your own money that is now the companies money. You pay 5k to get worse performance and you can lose the investment anyway to the company. Buy term and invest, if YOU are consistent, is always better. The downfall is that the WL and UL agents are banking on you not having trust in yourself and your money management ability. (Which most people, including myself fall or fell into.) I would love to work with you more but if not there are plenty of great videos out there and if you want the truth about each type, look up videos of WL only agents talk about UL and vice versa. It is amazing to watch them torch each other.

I agree, term life is the way to go for the majority of people.

Can you expand on why you this that? Because other then the death benefit payout, it doesn't offer anything else. And if you don't die yo get nothing.

So whole life insurance with cash value options allow you to withdraw your cash value at any time with no penalties. Can't do that from a 401k or IRA. Also this money is 100% tax free because it is post tax money. The other advantage with it is you don't have to pay the money back and you still make the guarantees on the money you took out - can't do that with 401k either. Also after a set period of time you don't pay any payments anymore. Mine are setup for 10 years of max payments and then 10 years of just premiums and then no money is paid ever again. I did this with my newborn grand daughter. It is a great way to pass on wealth without taxes. Also doesn't count against her for grants if she decides to go to college in 17 years. 529 plans are taxable if not used for school. UGMA / UTMA accounts are taxed and have zero control of them once the kid turns 18 or 21 (state depending) therefore if the kid is rebelling at 18 they could cash out the money and blow it. With life insurance you can keep the policy owner in your name until the kid is responsible. Maxing out 401k (can't do ROTH) Pretax bucket / this ^^^^ is how I am investing in my post tax bucket. Then with social security and other side income that i am building I have a three legged stool to help make sure I minimize my taxes in retirement. It is a great strategy but not all Whole Life policies work the same and that is the big kicker.

They should call it "child insurance". You are not insuring your own life, you are insuring the life of your children. Life insurance is a basic necessity, unless you are wealthy or your children are already adult. There are tons of people who are not building great wealth, or any at all. For many people, the alternative is certainly not the stock market. I would not pick a cheap insurance, you get what you pay for. Your children should either be covered or not at all. The whole point of insurance is to be safe, do not end up in a protracted legal battle with an insurance company that has more resources than you.

Ah all of this is so stressful, I don't know. I read books, I listened to people who know, But I still don't know what to do. I saved money, I invested it, but that's not much still and I now signed up for life insurance. I also want to at least live happily, traveling wherever I want. I hate my job, I want to be financially free, so I read and listened but I am still somehow here and not getting it. And keep feeling demotivated and down. I just want to give up this all and go to a temple in the mountains and live there. But my mom begs me not to. Can't leave her. I have a good life what others maybe wish for, a job and money to pay food, clothes, utilities and a rent. But why am I not grateful and why do I want to quit working and just do nothing? I just want to be happy and free. But maybe I am not smart enough to understand this all.

When you factor in taxes for other investments and the tax free accumulation and tax free access to cash value that is available within properly designed whole life, and it's ability to be used whenever and however we want without penalties from the government, we win on ROI. On top of that, we have no threat of unforseen short-term or long-term losses. And even further, we have the ability to access the value of our cash accumulations within the policy up to 100% through policy loans to be used for investment in other assets, real estate, stocks or anything else... while keeping the full amount of our actual cash value within the policy as it continues to grow with compounding interest at the same time.
