  1. These are ways and options to be able to have tax free money, many clients also want to leave a legacy behind. For some clients these fees make sense, would they prefer paying the amount in taxes or in life insurance. Insurance also doesnt fit in everyones planning.

  2. I do both. I have ETFs that pays monthly then use the life insurance whole life for when the market tanks. Its 2 hedges for the price of one: life & liquidity when there is none 😊

  3. Very mis-leading video and especially wrong that it is only right "if you have a lot of money". Let's start with how much is a "lot of money"? Who gets to define that? You? Without the knowledge of someone else's financial situation you have no clue if this is right or not. Whole-Life insurance is absolutely a great financial 'vehicle' IF designed properly for maximum cash value to be used with the infinite banking concept. But term insurance (20 year level pay) is the way to go IF the only thing your concerned about it the death benefit. PS.. I don't sell insurance. Just someone who has done their homework over the course of 72 years of living. Those who take this as 100% accurate need to do their own homework. Research IBC wholelife insurance.

  4. 1. Whole life and IUL’s are different types of policies.
    2. IUL’s are not investments, they’re life insurance with cash value accounts that mirror the market.
    3. IUL’s can be very affordable if they’re structured right. Low death benefit to maximize cash value.

  5. Life insurance is bot an investment. First and foremost it is a death benefit. There are only 2 types of life insurance: term and perm. The rest is life insurance products.

  6. She’s wrong, I have 2 whole life insurance policies and none of them cost me anything near 8k annually. I pay closer $1400 a year; 😊😊anything extra is put into an investment account to earn compound interest tax free. Please do your own due diligence before you listen to these self proclaimed experts.

  7. Fot whole life etc, your payments get split between the insurance, cash value, and huge fees (and the first few years of the policy is just pure fees without adding to the cash value at all). And you can only ever have either the cash value or the insurance (via your family getting the pay out). If you're family gets the insurance, the company pockets the cash value. If you borrow against the cash value, that gets taken away from the insurance. So you pay for two things and only actually get one. You could instead by term (for way cheaper than the whole life insurance payment) and put the difference into almost anything else (and also pay way less in fees), and the end amount youll have will be way higher. A lot of other things will also get you a higher interest rate

  8. The problem with this kind of advice—also peddled by Dave Ramsey and his types—is that most people will NOT invest the so-called difference. They will also miss out on locking in permanent life insurance—which can also be designed to include other safety net riders such as critical care and/or illness—at a younger age, especially while you are healthy. The future is inherently unpredictable and therefore whole life insurance is meant to provide a cushion for you later in life.

  9. In comparing the returns, she didn't consider taxes. Life insurance growth and payouts are tax free where as you'd pay capital gains taxes on the stock investment she suggested. You just gotta do the numbers for your situation … no rule of thumb should be used.

  10. Insurance broker here. I sell Life Insurance and we have to do a financial review of your debt and how your family can proceed to live without your income. Life Insurance is not meant to be investment but there is a cash value account that helps you grow money over time. The people online selling permanent life insurance do have correct information but it is only correct information to some people. There's more, idk who is reading this but I hope it helps.

  11. No, she is scamming you don’t listen to anything that she says I am a life insurance representative and I represent buying term and investing the difference just because it is much better in the long run

  12. Please stop! Buy Whole Life or other permanent life insurance if you want to GUARANTEE some cash to someone at a future date. Stocks and Mutual Funds and other securities were not designed to GUARANTEE anyone anything. While there are some in my industry who present permanent life insurance as an investment, there are others like me who do not. An investment can be defined as an outlay of cash for a return or a profit and that definition can make life insurance a bad investment compared to stocks and mutual funds. That definition can also make stocks and mutual funds bad life insurance because they do not provide the one thing that separates life insurance from other financial instruments: a GUARANTEED Income Tax Free pay out to Beneficiaries one day! (there are some instances where it may not be income tax free, but that is usually in a unique setting). Permanent Life insurance supports and protects an investment portfolio. It is not a replacement nor a competitor. Buy the life insurance product that fits your strategy because there is no one size fits all life insurance. I'll stop here, but there's more you said that I disagree with.
