  • When comparing term insurance costs to whole life insurance, you can't use grade school math and add up the premiums paid over time.

    With money, we must use financial math to account for the time variable. When we do that, the numbers tell a much different story than what the "buy term, invest the difference" people tell.

    The true cost of term insurance could be tens of millions or more!

    Join us today as we once again examine some numbers to reveal the truth about what term insurance really costs.

  • When comparing the costs of term life insurance vs whole life insurance, we can't just compare the premium prices and call it a day.

  • In today's episode, we discuss a misleading IUL ad we found on Instagram. We break down the numbers to explain why this ad (and IUL in general) is, in our professional opinion, a smoke-and-mirrors game.

    Indexed Universal Life (IUL) is often touted as "unbundled whole life insurance" or, worse, just like an investment but with no risk...

    Nothing could be further from the truth. IUL is not an investment, and it's not just "unbundled whole life," either.

  • We have spent a lot of time discussing why paying premiums is great and why we should want to pay them for as long as possible. From an Infinite Banking perspective, why would we not want to capitalize our "bank" to the greatest extent possible?

    This begs the question: is it ever appropriate to not pay a premium for a long time?

    A "Single-premium" whole life policy is designed for one premium, and that's it. As usual, there are significant tradeoffs to this type of design, the biggest of which concerns taxes.

    Tune in to this episode and learn about three potential use cases for a single-premium whole life insurance policy.

  • Do you even *want* to get well financially?

    Humans tend to reject solutions to their problems. In the book Becoming Your Own Banker, Nelson Nash talks about the problem most people face: they do not have control over their need for financing throughout their lives.

    Embrace the solution, friends!

  • Buying things based on interest rates alone can be a big problem. We seeing the proof of that right now in the commercial real estate market where owners having to refinance at higher rates is causing fire-sales pretty much across the board.

    It's also true with other asset classes like whole life insurance. Sometimes people will pass up whole life because they think they can get better rates on either growth or loans somewhere else.

    But one thing we know is true: Rates change. People who passed on whole life 5 years ago because bank rates were lower are kicking themselves now that bank rates have gone up!
