Lingo Lin How to create a “Family Bank” without using Whole Life Insurance?
10 May 2019 | 17 replies
I had a health and life Insurance license many years ago, I never really put it to use, so my knowledge is limited to what I can remember, which is not much :)What I do remember at least from selling the products is that doing the math revealed that the portion in the whole life policy that covered the insurance was higher than the same face amount on a term policy.I would assume this is due to a whole life insurance policy is just that for your whole life no need to seek it for a new term ever 10 years which would cost more as each term rolls in.If the money can only be taken out as a loan, it won’t satisfy our families needs.The forced savings element is so that part of that can be used for a group investment in say real estate.Real estate when purchased and sold at the right times in the cycle can generate a higher return and offers more tax breaks than funds being held for decades in a whole life policy, as the value of the dollar goes done over time, it just doesn’t make sense, or I just don’t see how it does at this moment.
