Okay, here's some FACTS about life insurance! And yes, I'm a licensed agent.
Term Insurance - Simple
You get the face value of the policy with nominal payments.
Whole Life - Not so simple -
It's a term cash value policy payout at time of dealth with a cash value attached.
Selling point: YOU CAN BORROW AGAINST IT!
Hidden point: YOU BORROW FROM YOUR OWN CASH NOT THE POLICY VALUE.
Selling Point example: Policy cost $200 ($80 pays for the term policy/$120 goes in to the cash value)
Hidden Point: The first three years of your $120 goes to the agent with no cash value accomulation until till after the three years. Which means you gave the agent $4320.00 of your CASH!
Selling Point: You can borrow against the policy, NO, borrow against your $120 a month.
Hidden Point: At the time of death, if you borrowed against your own money NOT THE TERM POLICY, they will take it out your policy. So, if you borrowed $5k and your policy is $10k your family will ONLY get $5k. Okay? And ALL the money you put in cash YOUR FAMILY DOES NOT GET IT -the Insurance company keeps it.
WHOLE LIFE Policies - Best use if you're going get a whole life policy it for some business wealth creation short term. Those of you thinking you’re getting WHOLE LIFE for your whole life - you’re not! They're getting your whole life's saving! Buy term ONLY find you a good investment broker, I know one, and invest the rest!
Okay, bye! Thank me later! Call me sooner!
