Using Whole Life Insurance for Retirement Income? Case Study | IBC Global, Inc - YouTube

Channel: Insurance Business Concepts (IBC) Global

[11]
All right, using a cash value聽 life insurance policy for income.
[16]
Tax-free retirement income down the road.
[19]
We're going to go through some numbers here.
[20]
So the main point of our last聽 video was, focusing on this
[25]
setting expectations and聽 mostly setting them properly
[30]
as far as looking at different rates
[32]
best numbers, conservative numbers,聽 guarantees we're going to do that here.
[35]
So, what we're going to take聽 a look at, is as follows,
[39]
we've got a 45 year old male.
[41]
And we're going to look at max聽 funding a policy for seven years.
[45]
Funding up to the MEC line, the MEC limit聽 on a policy, 50k per year, 45 year old mail.
[52]
We're going to look at the guaranteed rates.
[54]
Conservative dividend, the company's present聽 dividend rate a moderate dividend rate
[58]
and then also an aggressive dividend rate.
[61]
Now what we're going to聽 focus on here is as follows,
[65]
Growth.
[66]
What does the policy look like聽 from an accumulation standpoint?
[69]
That really has to do with the design.
[70]
We go into this quite a聽 bit, as far as policy design
[73]
premium, PUA writers, MEC limit.
[75]
We're not going to cover all the聽 details or much details at all on that.
[79]
But then income and "how do聽 I set expectations properly?"
[83]
Because, when I look at the, aggressive聽 scenario, as far as the best rates possible.
[88]
I can pull out a whole lot more聽 money than I can based off of the聽聽
[93]
moderate dividend or even guarantees.
[95]
So seeing that all up front聽 helps set expectations properly.
[100]
This way, I don't have buyer's remorse聽 because "I thought I was getting the best!"
[104]
and it doesn't happen.
[105]
Let's take a look.
[108]
So what we will look at is just the growth first
[114]
and if you'd like to see the聽 detailed illustrations on this
[117]
that is in our membership program.
[120]
So anyone subscribed to that,聽聽
[121]
we went through the actual ledgers聽 as to how we designed this and such.
[125]
But what we've got here guaranteed values,
[128]
conservative dividend assumption
[132]
another dividend assumption
[133]
and then aggressive dividend assumption
[137]
$50,000 for 7 years, 45 year old male.
[140]
Let's look at the growth first.
[142]
So on the accumulation phase,
[143]
and this is really due to the policy design,
[147]
solid break-even point.
[149]
Just about year 5, I've paid in $250k.
[152]
I'm at $248k.
[154]
Year 6 I'm positive!
[156]
So, strong performance.
[157]
If I see that in the guarantees, the聽 policy is designed very favorably,
[162]
specifically on the guarantees.
[163]
looking at a conservative dividend rate,
[165]
lower than this company's聽 been since, I think 1970.
[170]
But breaking even between 4 and 5 [Years].
[172]
All of these are designed聽 in the exact same manner.
[174]
And we can see that, actually,聽聽
[177]
in the 1st year, cash values are聽 are all identical across the board.
[184]
Break evens, on the other guys,
[186]
really between years 3 and 4.
[190]
But year 4 I'm positive.
[191]
There, so looks good.
[192]
This is what we look at all the time.
[194]
Right? Just an accumulation over time.
[197]
Quick piece of additional information,聽 when you look at the guarantees,
[200]
why the death benefit does not increase is due to,
[204]
no dividends being paid.
[205]
So a whole life insurance聽 product, is a guaranteed product.
[208]
Based off their guaranteed rate of 4% ,聽 I'm going to have accumulation over time.
[213]
And my death benefit will not appreciate,聽 unless I add more money into PUA's
[218]
or if dividends are paid.
[220]
Okay, so let's take a look at聽 what we've all been waiting for.
[225]
Income!
[226]
That's the name of the game for these videos.
[230]
(Let's fit it all into one page) There we go.
[233]
So whenever looking at income, right first we聽 want to make sure the policies are all the same.
[239]
Which they are.
[241]
We always put them side by side, if聽 you're actually looking at an option
[244]
meaning if I was looking at聽 the basic dividend assumption
[247]
we put the growth and income side by side,
[250]
so I can see the direct impact.
[251]
But here, I want to look at聽 the different assumptions.
[254]
Because that's really what's interesting here.
[258]
(There we go) So the aggressive on the far right.
[262]
let's look at that first.
[263]
Because this is always what's sold.
[266]
And if we were in an IUL, (which we don't聽 use because I haven't seen any proof)
[270]
this would probably look more like $72k.
[274]
IUL's project beautiful values.
[277]
But again, i haven't seen any proof around it.
[280]
Which is why we don't use them.
[281]
Other than "hypothetical" proof (which聽 I don't really believe in that term)
[285]
So what we ran here is from age 65,
[292]
up until 95.
[294]
Last disbursement is at age 94.
[296]
A levelized income stream.
[298]
And what we were solving for here, was,
[300]
really the maximum amount of income聽 I could take out of a policy.
[305]
Based on different assumptions,聽 different rates more or less.
[309]
So, based off of the aggressive assumption,
[314]
which we go into full disclosure聽 in detail on the membership program
[321]
$36,000 per year
[322]
I'm able to pull out,
[324]
versus
[326]
the basic dividend $29,500.
[330]
A conservative dividend $24,000.
[334]
If I was a 45 year old male, knowing what I know聽 and this was my goal to put in $50k for 7 years.
[341]
How I would approach this聽 from a realistic standpoint
[344]
will be somewhere in between here.
[346]
If it produces this, hey that's great.
[349]
Historically it has done between this.
[352]
However, we're not in the same times we were
[355]
when we looked at policies that聽 lived through the 70s and 80s聽
[359]
with double digit dividend rates.
[360]
That would be great, but again,聽 setting expectations properly,
[364]
I would bank on it somewhere in between these two.
[368]
I would not bank off the high numbers.
[370]
That's great, but when I'm聽 actually making the purchase,聽
[373]
look at it more conservative.
[375]
If I want to get up to $36k or a higher number,
[378]
I may need to pay more into it or perhaps聽 the life insurance product is not a fit
[382]
but it's best to know that up front
[384]
as opposed to finding out after the fact.
[388]
and then over here
[389]
on the guarantees
[392]
$21.5k indefinitely
[396]
$21.5k per year.
[397]
And the guarantees assume 2 things聽 with this particular design.
[401]
It assumes (1) the guaranteed rate of 4%.
[403]
And the term rider we have attached
[404]
it assumes (2) the maximum charge for it as well.
[406]
So we stripped it down
[408]
made it worst, worst, worst case scenario.
[410]
Did that on purpose.
[412]
So, here's what I'm interested in.
[414]
So we pulled all this income out, like,
[416]
"What's the end result聽 Steve? How much did I pay in?
[419]
How much did I pull out?"
[421]
Did this make sense, considering聽 it's a life insurance product ?
[424]
Meaning, if I died,
[426]
the net death benefit was聽 paid out to my beneficiaries,
[429]
income tax-free.
[431]
But at its core, the cash value, is a safe,聽 liquid, tax-free area to position money.
[436]
We took withdrawals up to our cost basis
[438]
and then loaned out the rest,
[439]
Keeping the tax benefits intact.
[442]
If I try to pull out $36k
[445]
and It produced closer to the guarantees
[448]
and then I trigger a lapse
[449]
that would be one example of聽 how a taxable event could occur.
[454]
Which of course I'd encourage聽 you to consult with a
[456]
CPA (Certified public accountant) or tax attorney.
[458]
Because I am not one
[460]
[LAUGTER]
[461]
Here's what I was interested in.
[465]
On the guarantees.
[467]
Jere's what we got.
[470]
Guaranteed values
[474]
Total input!
[476]
$350,000
[477]
That's the total amount of money I paid in.
[479]
Then we took policy withdrawals of $350k.
[484]
I paid in $350k, withdrew up to my cost basis
[487]
and then began to loan out the rest.
[490]
Now these loans,
[491]
total of $295k,
[493]
interest had accrued the loan balance accrued
[497]
We assume 0 payments applied to that loan balance.
[500]
Nothing!
[501]
The reason why, is if we're taking income out
[504]
it would be counterproductive to start聽 making payments toward the loan balance
[508]
when I'm taking income.
[509]
It doesn't make sense.
[512]
So, total income during retirement
[518]
(I'm going to make this a little bit smaller.
[521]
Made it too big, there we go)
[523]
Income during retirement $645,000 total.
[527]
Paid in $350,000
[529]
Everything above what I paid聽 in was another $295,000.
[532]
So approximately $300,000
[534]
Now, conservative dividend, what do I got?
[538]
Total $720,00
[540]
You'll find a consistency.
[541]
This is the same company聽 product, all that good stuff.
[544]
Paid in $350,000
[545]
The withdrawals stopped at $350,000.
[548]
Because, if I take a withdrawl
[549]
a transaction withdrawl not a policy loan
[553]
and pull out more than what I've聽 paid in that's when taxes can occur.
[557]
Obviously we don't want that.
[558]
So we withdrew up to our cost basis
[561]
and then the rest came out in loans.
[562]
You'll see that consistent across the board.
[566]
And then just, here, income during retirement
[569]
based off the guarantees $645,000,
[572]
$720,000,
[574]
$885,000
[575]
So realistically
[578]
Somewhere in that neighborhood.
[581]
If you want to go more聽 conservative, lean closer to that.
[583]
Great way to set expectations.
[585]
If you really want to go as聽 conservative as possible,
[589]
bank on this
[590]
because it's always done better than that.
[592]
But that's guaranteed.
[594]
Guaranteed is guaranteed, as long as聽 I made those payments into the policy.
[598]
And then aggressive,
[599]
if things go very well or continue聽 to do what they're doing today.
[604]
I'll see strong results.
[605]
I Know this is a lot of info.
[607]
It's interesting stuff.
[608]
When I look at how I can actually turn around
[611]
and pull money out on the back end
[613]
with a cash value life insurance policy.
[615]
But it's good to look at.
[617]
As always, I hope that this was helpful.
