I appreciate the vids and I've got a few questions, which I'll submit later. Quick comment, the stock market does WAY better on average than 1%. It's closer to 10% by almost every metric since 2000. Personally, my own stocks have made from 8-12% and most of that is in the S&P.

[@LIFE180]

If those are the results you have gotten, you are the outlier scenario. This is not my opinion...I am simply going through the numbers. In addition, there are financial researchers that show the average investor has done worse during this period. Happy to talk whenever. You know where to reach me.

Just to be clear, looking at the numbers; "The S&P 500 Index originally began in 1926 as the "composite index" comprised of only 90 stocks.1 According to historical records, the average annual return since its inception in 1926 through 2018 is approximately 10%-11%. The average annual return since adopting 500 stocks into the index in 1957 through 2018 is roughly 8%."

Thank you Chris for this great video and good tips on IUL as investment tool!

[@LIFE180]

This is more geared towards whole life. I stopped selling IUL because there is more risk on the policy holder and less on the insurance company. IUL are able to show illustrations of income that are inflated and unrealistic and not guaranteed.

[@LIFE180]

Hi Phialoung, actually, I much prefer whole life than IUL. I used to be the director of development with one of the largest IUL companies in the country. But the problem with IUL is the guarantees are not there. At the end of the day, whole life is a great investment tool, but it is and should not be considered an investment itself. It is a very effective storage vehicle for your money that can give you a lot of leverage for other investments.

I think Life insurance is a great asset to a financial and family strategy for many reasons. However, I really wish your presentation was more personal. Its really hard to sit there and listen to a bunch of charts, lists, tables etc. You have a great speaking voice and yet the material listed just makes everything so dry. Does it make sense for a man who is 70 to buy a whole life policy? Thanks. Je

[@LIFE180]

Hey Jerry, thanks for the input. It is hard to give specifics and make personal stories because variables are so vast. The answer to the 70 year old question is, it depends. The reason I focus on charts and tables and math is because most people need to understand the fundamental math behind how they work to see if they agree with the principal's. Then they can have a conversation about if it is right for the. And their circumstances and objectives.

[@jesseharrington96]

Love the videos, just subscribed yesterday. When you take out a loan, can't that loan just be taken out of the death benefit when you pass away? That way you have money you could use for daily use/investments instead of paying yourself back? Or does that affect your "available cash to withdrawl from your account" for future?

[@jesseharrington96]

I just watched another webinar of yours & found my answer:)

[@LIFE180]

Yes, when you take a collateralized load against the policy, it is taken out of the death benefit, which if you structure properly will still leave you access to more cash - tax free, I might add. However, if you do take a loan, it is better to use it as a bank loan and pay it back. The benefits of flexibility are extremely useful though. You don't want to withdraw from your policy, typically. We call it Collateral Capacity. You want to use your policy to fund different purchases and investments, but always pay back. That will create growth through arbitrage and it will help make every investment you make better. (I hope that makes sense)...?

[@aliloga1]

Shouldn't Auto, Home & Health Insurance work the same way, & if not why?.

[@elisarubiano2261]

Can you pull out cash from life insurance to buy a house

[@LIFE180]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZ_bkqtsl5d7hcU That video will explain it

[@thesunisblack44blacksun14]

Ok i see that this system pays an interest but the interest rate is not that high. In another video the narrator stated the rates are about 4 to 5%. Thats low regardless of whether or not its protected against taxes alone. An even bigger question IS DOES THIS SYSTEM ALSO OFFER PROTECTION AGAINST THE DEBASING OF THE DOLLAR BY THE PRIVATE OWNED FED. IN OTHER WORDS INFLATION? Concern isn't just with taxes. An just as bigger issue is that the dollar is worth less every year. In order to keep our money truly growing shouldn't we have a vehicle for interest rates that pay at leat 10 to 12%? I mean that seems modest but probably above THE YEARLY INFLATION+TAXES RATES. The death benefit is an massive profit incentive but what about during a persons life? Money is going to be needed during a persons life. Also I'm curious do the wealthy sometimes have life insurance policies worth 10s of millions? Now i have only a perfunctory knowledge of this kind of BANKING SYSTEM but it seems more likely to me that this should be more used to replace banks as much as possible for depositing cash not needed for investments. This should be your bank for all intensive purposes it seems. I have much to learn.

[@cheapy100]

Tks for the information. Do have a question. If One put all money into the life insurance, what if he dies tmr. All the cash value built up in the past will be washed out and his family can only get the death benefit. If I am correct, will that be risky?

[@cheapy100]

I probably understand after re reading the spreadsheet, the death benefit increase dramatically, right?

[@LIFE180]

That's a great question and one that just takes some perspective of the alternative. Option 1: Save money in a bank account. If the person who owns that account dies, that money is passed down as a taxable vehicle. Plus, if they are saving, they are probably trying to save to a higher number...and if they died, they came up way short (most likely) Option 2: Save money in a whole life insurance contract. While people like Dave Ramsey like to say that the cash value is wiped out when someone dies, nothing could be further from the truth. I encourage you to watch our video on How To Properly Structure Life Insurance. As the cash value goes up, so does the death benefit. Think about it this way, you can save $100,000 in a savings account and pass that on in a taxable vehicle....or you can save $100,000 in a whole life contract and pass it on tax free. However, in addition to the cash value, you also receive a death benefit above and beyond the cash value. PLUS, you get living benefits with most good policies. The bottom line is, the cash is not wiped out. Watch this to help understand a bit more: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJ_ZhYqid82En5o

[@kinkao2373]

Doesn’t make sense why should I loan against my own savings? It’s my money I should be able to take it out without paying interest

If it doesn't make sense, you haven't spent enough time trying to learn about it and the tax benefits as to why you do it that way...

[@LIFE180]

IULs are not as safe as whole life. What are you hoping to do with the IUL? How are you looking to use it?

[@FastLifeInc]

I had this same question. Wondering if it’s smart to have both an IUL and WL for infinite banking since the IUL offers higher potential for returns in a good market but can face market caps when the market is highly volatile, where the WL would balance it out as it has a guaranteed rate of return. Is this correct? Also wondering if you’d get the same growth in cash value if you get a 10, or 20 pay whole life as opposed to the standard whole life

[@LIFE180]

@@FastLifeInc first off, I am releasing a video on this topic this week you will find helpful, I believe so be on the lookout. Second, never buy a traditional whole life policy. Make sure it is optimized. Doing a 10 pay or 20 pay doesn't really make that much of a difference. In fact, I would argue that once you hit year 10 in a policy, you won't want to stop putting money in because from that point forward there won't be another financial product that can touch what it does for you... all the negatives come on the front couple of years. Look for my video this week in response to the IUL though. In summary, the upside isn't all it is made out to be and all these people like Doug Andrew who are touting that it is are basically criminals... it's going to be 🔥

[@FastLifeInc]

Okay awesome! I figured having multiple permanent life insurance policies would be a way to have more CV available to lend yourself without overfunding a single policy and crossing the MEC limit. Silly question but...when you payback a policy loan you took from your CV, does the insurance company charge interest or does all of it go back to your CV? When I was at State Farm, policy loans on their universal life’s had an interest rate of 8% but 6% of that went right back to the actual CV so that the policyholder was really only being charged 2% is this common practice for both loans taken from UL and WL?

[@LIFE180]

Ok you said SAVINGS VEHICLE AT 5:01 That makes far more sense because the money is still not protected against inflation and the only way it could do that is to pay at least a double digit interest rate like 10% plus and it doest. Now i could conceive of this kind of vehicle being used a kind of corporate protective shield for other investment ASSETS in property, paper, and or businesses. Who knows. There are probably pros and cons for combining these systems. I have an open mind

[@thesunisblack44blacksun14]

Just as i figured. From 17:20 or so you pointed out how this banking system can make out loans. Well if you yourself decide the interest rate wouldn't there be a motivation to artificially pay a higher interst rate if the cash is available? Maybe there is some kind of legal limit. I don't know

[@LIFE180]

I would say that in order to be protected vs inflation you simply need to not lose purchasing power... meaning, earn a higher rate of return than inflation, which a whole life policy that is properly structured will do. You don’t need double digit returns...🧐

[@LIFE180]

The Sun Is Black 44 Black Sun you can always get loans and they will fluctuate based on the bond markets. However, they will always be competitive. If you are trying to buy a car, you can get lower rates through a bank if you have good credit, and that’s what I would suggest doing. However, for flipping houses, getting personal loans, or any other unsecured loan, the great part of a loan against your policy is that it will get you far better rates than most traditional methods.

Horrible advice your money isn't growing at a 4% rate of return sure it's better than the bank but not compared to an average of 12% not guaranteed however with a Whole life you don't have a chance or an option to get higher rates that are available . The company you're giving your money too gets way higher and kick you down peanuts on your money. I call it guaranteed hopelessness.

[@LIFE180]

Hey Bobby, a couple of things... 1 - Show me where you can get an average of 12% return in the market in any investment over a long period of time. There is no 20+ year period where the real rate of return in the market is 12%... 2 - If you properly structure a whole life policy, you do have access to the money for opportunity. That said, a whole life policy isn't for everyone. BUT, it is for people who don't want to rely on the stock market that has let them down HORRIBLY over the past 17 years. We are in an 8 year bull market...one of the longest ever. Best way to go broke is buy high...that's all I am saying. I would rather keep my money safe in a Whole Life policy (rather than a bank), and have access for opportunity on investments I want - like a business or something I have some sort of control of.

[@TheFinancialAdvocacyPodcast]

I can give you a GUARANTEED average of 25% in 4 years. Watch this: Take $100,000 and double it to $200,000 (100% return) $200,000 went back down to $100,000 (-50% loss) Do it again: $100,000 doubled to $200,000 (100% return) $200,000 went back down again to $100,000 (-50% loss) 100% + -50% + 100% + -50% = 100% / 4 years = 25% average rate of return.
