How To Properly Structure A Whole Life Insurance Policy

[@LIFE180]

I just filmed the update for the changes in the whole life market in 2023. I just took this conversation to the next level in this video, enjoy: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXesk6KAesd8j68

[@rajbeekie7124]

Every insurance salesman sells the client a properly structured policy. As soon as the client talks with another insurance salesman, a few years down the line, s/he is told that the policy is not properly structured, but all is not lost, he has a properly structured policy to sell you.

Awesome video guys, thank you for putting this together. Lol first off, Chris, when you mentioned the country being in debt $21 Trillion, and 4 years later we're now at $32 Trillion, I just thought how out of control this system is. Regarding the 4% growth, has that gone up now that interest rates have gone up and is that 4% net after all company expenses? Also, what is the average commission percentage on a whole life policy with paid up additions?

[@xiongbenjamin]

I've loved the idea of whole life insurance and it's rider polices for the longest time, but had always been suspicious of HOW it's money borrowing worked. Never got that clarity until now. I'm always for borrowing money and let my saved money and assests grow. With this video breaking it down, especially with the 3 scenarios of car buying, I've gained tremendous confidence in starting a whole life policy now. Thank you!

[@yiweizhang2485]

Awesome video on who to utilize whole life insurance. My question is that when you put in so much PUA, your cash value is much greater. When you get older or rather when you die, the insurance company get the cash value and your beneficiary gets the net death benefit. Is there a way around that? I've read online that you can call up the insurance company and convert the cash value to boost your death benefit is that true? Or you need a specific rider stating you can do this? Also, if I'm super lazy or I didn't get the chance to look for investments, should I still get whole life insurance with suped up PUA? I'm 36 and about to start my 6th year of whole life, and have a good balance of stocks and cash at the moment.

[@LIFE180]

There should always be a spread between the DB and CV. If there isn't, there is a problem. There are many ways to address this. It's a bit more involved than a KZbin response. If you would like to set up a conversation, you can do so here Https://life180.andasset.com

[@stampdealer]

Is this a dividend-paying WL policy from a mutual insurance company? If so, I don't see where you are illustrating dividend-funded PUA's. I know that dividends aren't guaranteed, but there are plenty of mutual insurance companies out there who have paid a dividend every year for a century or more.

[@kevinburt9621]

I seriously doubt that this guy is a Nelson Nash Institute certified practitioner. It looks more like they are front loading a major death benefit since it's taking 3 years to get any cash value. I would avoid them and go find someone who is certified with NNI. Good luck : )

[@stampdealer]

@@kevinburt9621 Agreed. Thanks for the reply.

[@drewangell1457]

You clearly didn't watch the video. The point is that the first policies they are going through that don't earn cash value very quickly are not properly designed policies.

[@stampdealer]

@@drewangell1457 Thanks for your reply three years later. Now, I may have missed the part where they said, "this is an example of how NOT to....", but the structure of my question, "I don't see where you are illustrating..." is an obvious indicator that I DID watch the video. Thanks again.

[@greenlife374]

that 4% Rate of Return growth on the whole life policy is guaranteed or assumed?

[@LIFE180]

Well, there are different variables. The guarantee on a whole life policy. currently is 2% with a non-guaranteed dividend of 5.2%. While the 5.2% is not guaranteed, the companies we use have paid EVERY YEAR for 110+ consecutive years! That said, the 5.2% is also an 80 year low for the dividend....so if it gets higher as interest rates increase, the performance will actually improve from what I showed in the video. Hope that answers your question.

[@LIFE180]

Technically the loan is directly from the insurance company. They use your policy balance as collateral. You can do interest only payments, interest + principle, or no payments at all. It's your call. However, I would never use the provision (except for retirement income) unless you did so inside of a strategy to pay it back and create more wealth.

[@goumass]

Great video but one question: Lets say you pay your policy for 30 years. You build up your equity and DB. If you stop paying your premium, is the death benefit locked in?

[@LIFE180]

once again, it depends on how it is structured. It can be locked in forever, certainly. You can do a death benefit reduction, or you can keep it increasing and keep it a level amount (say $500,000 above whatever cash value you have in the account). It simply depends on your objective.

Assume a $500,000 whole life insurance policy. As the cash value grows, the risk ($500,000) to the insurance company decreases. As the risk decreases, I assume the mortality expenses, to pay for the $500,000, are reduced as well. Correct? Example: If the total mortality expenses, in Year 1, are $1,500 with $0 cash value, then I assume that as cash value grows, then the mortality expense will be reduced, since the insurance company risk is reduced, correct?

How do we apply this insurance policy concept towards a "Family" own banking concept? Is it a group insurance instead of personal? How would it work?

[@LIFE180]

There are many ways to accomplish it. Policies are owned on individuals. Often for legacy and long term banking strategies they are owned inside of different types of trusts. But a simpler version is getting each family member a policy that is properly structured and using the banking strategy that way. Also, older, less healthy individuals can often times own the policy and insure a younger person in the family (typically one of their kids). Does that help?

Please advise, what life insurance company is paying 5% on a whole life policy? This is very misleading, if this is hypothetical.

[@LIFE180]

Many whole life companies offer a 5% dividend. Also, long term over the past 30 years, many policies have netted over 5% after all costs. Are they going to net 5% after expenses right now? No. But it's about thinking long term. They will over the long run if rates go back up.

Does the whole life insurance policy guarantee returns the same way that a savings account does? What if there is a natural disaster and a large portion of the insured population dies and the company has to pay out a death benefit, does the insurance policy still pay out/exist ? Is the 5% interest to borrow money against your built in cash value variable or set in stone ? I think this info is important to really make an in depth comparison. Thanks

[@LIFE180]

While life insurance policies are not FDIC insured, most states do have certain guarantees that back the guarantees of the insuring company. Furthermore, if we truly have a pandemic where a high percentage of the population is wiped out, honestly, I think we have a lot more to worry about than your policy. To take it a step further, I would say that the FDIC is woefully underinsured and if there is another major financial crisis, they are leveraged WAY TOO MUCH. The FDIC won’t be enough. That will be part of the discussion during the next financial crisis...and that is FAR more likely than a large part of the population passing away.

Any finances such as WL, mutual funds, or checking account can only be access by the person that is the beneficiary on these accounts. You would have to call and show documents that this person is deceased and explain that you are not sure if you are the beneficiary but tell them who you are and they will verify your information with what they have and determine if you have authority to release information to you. It is very important that if you do have POA to make sure prior to death to get all these things squared away, it would save a lot of time and maybe even money in the long run.

But if I get a regular car loan, I can keep the 50k in my account and still have access to use it.

[@LIFE180]

If you take a loan against your policy for the car, you no longer have access to it in the policy because you just used it. The power is the fact that you took the loan for $50k to get your car, but the $50k in your life insurance contract, while no longer liquid, is still growing at its full value with uninterrupted compounding. It's quite powerful.

[@LIFE180]

Correct. You can take a regular car loan and keep the money in your policy - if the car loan is 0% or 2% financing or something of that nature. However, the benefit of having the policy loan is the fact that it won't hurt credit and has more flexible payment terms if you run a business and have big cash flow fluctuations.

That's an apples and oranges comment. Life insurance companies are the best FINANCIAL institutions on the planet at managing risk.

So true enough the IRR sucks in their initial example sucks. Nice to have some honesty at the outset. Even still you will never find an “ Inflation adjusted” return column in any insurance illustration. If you think the government calculations of sub 2% for inflation are correct now or will be in the future get ready to lose purchasing power. Also explain to me how these insurance titans will remotely match past returns with the US 30 year treasury below 3%. Lower -even negative rates are coming in the US. They are baked in the cake demographically- just like Europe and Japan. The easy answer is - the returns of the past won’t be possible .

So glad I found this in depths explaining I appreciate it however a little confused I thought you paid the policy on how much the db is for example my db is a million dollars I pay maybe 15 1600 a month by is my cv 90 percent the db? In year one or is it based on what I’m paying a month and the value in that a little confused

Do all companies offer the Paid Up Rider option? I’m being offered an index life insurance policy and I’m not sure what the fees are.

[@LIFE180]

Indexed Universal Life is NOT the same as a whole life policy. Most agents will sell the upside potential with the downside protection, but the don't take into account the fact that the costs of insurance go up every year and internal costs are subject to change. Essentially, with IUL policies, the insurance company offsets the risk to the insured. Be vary careful as an agent can make any Indexed policy look VERY appealing on paper. I have never seen an IUL perform the way it shows on the illustration...not once.

I'd also like to invest in real estate, as the income from it will be funding the policy. For me, the death benefit can be low, as i'm more interested in having enough for retirement & living off it plus borrowing $ to get more real estate. Hell, if I can create a retirement account for my parents as well, that would be grand. They will in another country.

[@Sevencoins7]

What about the interest that the loan is going to charge? That is going to accumulate even more than the cash value if we don’t repay it. Sure the narrative is you can get a loan against your policy but no one talks about interest that comes with it which makes the whole life policy not lucrative. So technically we never can access money tax-free, there is always some kind of “extra” money we end up paying. These revenue agency knows all hooks and crooks.

[@LIFE180]

This is actually not an accurate statement. Sure the interest you pay taking a loan against your policy has a cost associated with it. But the key is you're taking a loan against it (as collateral), not from it. Meaning while you're paying interest on the loan, all the cash value in your policy is still earning money. If you get a 5% loan and are earning 5% on your money, you are still actually ahead. In addition, a second level strategy is using the CV in your policy as collateral for other lenders who can give better rates. In which case, you can take advantage of those lower rates. Just know there will be more structure and more restrictions with outside lenders. That'll be fine for some and not for others. It really just depends what you want to use it for.

Do you not want life insurance anymore? If you don't value it and don't feel you need it because it is a waste of money, you can always cancel the term. I personally would never do that....but it's your call.... When does the term expire? If it is a 30 year term policy, you might want to look up Life Settlement companies and see if they would be willing to make a small offer so you don't lose out on all of your premium. Also make sure there were no Return of Premium riders on the policy you would be walking away from first.

Just out of curiosity, I was wondering if there was a point in which over funding the contract after it passes the 7-pay test could result it in becoming a modified endowment contract

This is why I, as an agent, can create a policy so it does not become a MEC. And we mostly do 7 year pays, and then your done paying for life.

Depending on how you fund the policy and what blend you use, it can become a MEC after year 7 if you overfund it too much. That said, a good agent shouldn't have a hard time figuring out how to make that NOT happen.

Do you give me my money back if I can't make the premiums and absorb all I've worked for?

[@LIFE180]

First of all....it's not me. That statement alone tells me that you are trying to argue with me... However, I would say that if you utilize this strategy, you should think about it in terms of how much you are saving per month comfortably, and reallocate those savings to this strategy. The money will perform far greater here than a savings account. FAR GREATER. Secondly, the policy does have flexibility when done properly to allow you to restructure to fit needs. This is all customized based on you and your situation. Thirdly, the amount of cash immediately liquid will be much higher than other policies (that is the point). All of that will be available. But to your question, you would never want to liquidate the plan. The longer it goes the more powerful it becomes. If you are worried about not being able to make premium payments, I would say don't stretch yourself too far and make sure you build flexibility into the plan that way if you can't make the premium payments, you don't run into trouble.

@@LIFE180 no need to be defensive. Let me rephrase.. If for whatever reason I wanted to cancel my policy. What would I receive? Given that I have a cash value that built up. Could I "take a loan out" and freely choose to not "pay myself back" as a sort of cash out or do i simply "cash out".

Let’s say the insured dies year 15, the beneficiary gets the death benefit, but what happens to the cash value?

[@LIFE180]

There is always a spread in the death benefit and the cash value. Let's say you start with a DB of $500,000 and zero cash value (day 1). If you then have cash value of $100,000 you should have roughly a DB of $600,000. You see, you are only paying for the $500,000 in life insurance, so you get that $500,000 of life insurance, plus your $100,000 of cash value which equals the $600,000. Make sense? There are instances it is a bit different from this example, but principally, this is the way it is. The argument that the life insurance keeps your cash is just ridiculous.

So on this “investment” where it is properly written I lose money for the first 7 straight years then after that I get anywhere between 1-3%? Worst investment ever, if you are concerned about a death benefit just buy a VA with a DB rider. I love how insurance videos all start with the “idea the industry doesn’t want you to know about.” If someone bought a mutual fund that in 20 years they told me their IRR was 3% I would feel sorry for them because that is the worst investment ever. Taxes aren’t even an issue because of the tiny return.

[@danielowens4013]

A “liquid” savings account except that you can’t access it for 7 years without losing money, doesn’t seem liquid. Lastly, one thing not mentioned here, your “return” is subject to interest rates. So right now is the worst possible time to get into this type of product because when you implement the “loan” strategy you will be paying more interest on the withdrawal than the interest rate right now. The rates are not fixed. If you are concerned about taxes put it in a Roth. If you make to much to put it in a Roth you should be in a deferred account anyways because you are in the highest possible tax bracket.

If you notice in the explanation, the relationship between the CV and the DB change based on policy design. The CV always goes to the insurance company.

That's what allows Tax Free distribution to the next generation when someone dies. Make sense?

Am I understanding this correctly? Lets say I have accumulated 50K in CV. I then borrow the 50K out of the policy and invest in something that gives me a return. I then pay back the loan at "my" interest rate of say 12%, that that interest income is NOT taxed?? Ever?? Do I have that correct?

[@LIFE180]

That's the infinite banking way of thinking about it. Philosophically that's correct, but my issue with how IBC coaches people to that is that you are still limited with how much you can put into the policy while remaining under the MEC limits.
