The Whole Truth About Whole Life

Some say that buying your home is the biggest financial transaction of your life. But when it comes to protecting, increasing, utilizing and maximizing your wealth, your whole life insurance policy might be the most important.

However, whole life insurance, as with most of your important financial transactions, tends to be complicated. With a multitude of companies, products and advisors, not to mention well meaning family and friends, all thinking they know what’s best for you, it becomes difficult to determine fact from fiction, myth from truth.

To start, here’s a simple summary: A Cash Value or Permanent Life insurance policy pays out benefits upon the death of the policyholder tax free. AND the policy’s savings or cash value increases during the policy-holders lifetime. Additional benefits include: the cash value does not incur any income or capital gains tax while it grows; you may borrow against the cash value from the insurance company, as a loan; and, in time, you may use the cash value to pay the policy premiums.

Sounds rather straight-forward, doesn’t it? Reasonable. Concise. Pretty impressive, too. Yet, many people, who are not even professionals in the life insurance industry get caught in confusion. We are here to cut the confusion. Whole Life insurance is the best vehicle for your money. Typically, when people think of the product, the first thing that comes to mind is the death benefit.
