The Ultimate Guide to Whole Life Insurance

I help young families get to Accredited Investor status and not slide backwards via our Prosperity Pledge which utilizes an Income Under Management approach with Currence and Whole Life.
Whole life insurance?is a type of insurance families use to protect income and provide for their loved ones in the event they pass away. It’s considered a type of “permanent” insurance, as it stays in place permanently. Besides offering a death benefit,?whole life insurance has been one of the “best-kept secrets” of the 1%.
Whole life insurance probably isn’t the first thing that comes to mind when you think of the following: savings, liquid cash, and growth. However, “whole life” can actually be a great vehicle for?all of the above?when you understand it! At Prosperity Thinkers, we even like to call it an?emergency/opportunity fund?(as opposed to just an emergency fund), because you can use it to save for both!
The “permanent” status of whole life makes it a?certain?asset that you can trust in as you build wealth. This is the basis for why it’s considered the preferred generational wealth tool for the 1%. Yet, it isn’t solely available to the 1%.?Almost anyone can qualify for a whole life insurance policy and start reaping the benefits.?

The more important question for you may be–Where?should you save money? A savings account at the bank is a good start, however, your returns are likely to be minimal. While regular contributions can still grow your savings, you won’t be able to outpace inflation on deposits alone. And, should you ever need to withdraw money,?you lose out on the compounding effect of interest.
How to Start Saving with Life Insurance
For these reasons, a savings account may suffice for a short time–yet not long term. For long-term savings that can contribute to your overall wealth strategy, it’s wise to be?saving with life insurance.?
Whole life insurance has a cash value component that allows policyholders to accumulate tax-advantaged savings with a great rate of return. (Although you lose many tax benefits if you make your policy a?MEC?with a single premium payment.) Not to mention, your cash value is not correlated to the stock market, so it cannot lose money.
