You put money into a properly designed life insurance policy.
That money can potentially:
💰 Build cash value with tax-deferred growth between 6% to 8%+
📈 Earn index-linked interest credits without being directly invested in the stock market
🛡️ Have a 0% index floor in negative index years, although policy costs still apply, this means if the stock market goes down, you don't lose money because 0% floor
🏦 Give you access to cash through withdrawals and policy loans for real estate, business, emergencies, or retirement
❤️ Provide living benefits for certain qualifying critical, chronic, or terminal illnesses where you can borrow the death benefit while you are alive
👨👩👧 Protect your family with a death benefit that is generally income-tax-free under current federal law
💸 Create potential supplemental retirement income through properly managed withdrawals and policy loans
That's why I like IULs.
One pool of money can potentially do multiple jobs.
But the policy has to be designed correctly. An IUL built for maximum death benefit looks VERY different from one built for cash accumulation.
I made a simple 1-page IUL cheat sheet explaining how it all works.
Comment “IUL” and I'll send it to you for free. These can also be super affordable starting as low as $100/m, but the more you put into it, the more it grows.
IULs have insurance costs and charges. Non-guaranteed values aren't guaranteed. Policy loans accrue interest and can affect policy values and benefits.
