Did you know? Your Whole Life Insurance can do double-duty! A Whole Life policy acts like a savings account through something called cash value, a built-in feature that grows over time.
How does it work? Part of the premium payment goes towards the death benefit (what your beneficiaries get if you pass away), and part of it goes toward the cash value, which grows tax-deferred over time.
Advantages:
• Access to funds needed for emergencies, education costs, home improvements, or other large expenses
• No taxes on the loan, if done correctly
• Flexible repayment terms
Disadvantages:
• Reduces your death benefit if not repaid
• Loan interest compounds
• If you cancel the policy with an outstanding loan, the IRS may treat it as taxable income
Consider the reward and risk: Whole Life is like a life insurance policy and a slow-growing savings account all rolled into one. If you want to learn more about how a Whole Life policy can benefit you, contact one of our licensed agents for assistance!
