Become a millionaire with 500 bucks a month. In this episode, we are going to
[7]
address the question, "What is the minimum amount
[12]
that I can put into or invest in an IUL, indexed universal life?' You're going to
[20]
see it's not what you begin with that counts,
[22]
it's what you end up with.
[33]
So, I'm Doug Andrew and I've been helping people with max-funded IUL,
[39]
since universal life has been around in 1980.
[42]
I started as a financial strategist in 1974.
[46]
But when indexed universal life came out in 1997,
[50]
I was all over that. And my average rate of return
[54]
went from 8.2 percent up to over 10 percent since that
[58]
time. And so, I'm a big proponent that people as they prepare for long-term
[63]
goals such as retirement or maybe in their business or with their real estate
[68]
management, college funding for their kids that one
[71]
of the best places to accumulate their money
[75]
tax-free safely where it's liquid it's safe
[78]
it earns predictable rates of return between 7 to 10 percent is what
[82]
I've averaged for 45 years. And I don't have to pay tax
[88]
when i take it out. And I don't have to pay tax when i
[91]
transfer it to my heirs. When I'm 6 feet under, there is not an
[95]
income tax due to whoever I leave it behind
[98]
to. There's very few vehicles that give tax advantages like that. In fact there
[104]
is no other vehicle in the internal revenue code
[107]
that allows you to accumulate access and transfer your money totally tax-free.
[111]
But when it transfers, it blossoms in value. So, my average returns
[116]
as I alluded have been between 8.2% up to
[120]
10.07. Even though some years I've earned 25%, okay?
[124]
Other year, 16%. Other years when the market totally crashed,
[129]
I didn't lose. I didn't make anything maybe but I didn't lose.
[133]
But see I've averaged a rate of return between the 8 to 10 percent range.
[138]
So, when the question is asked "What's the minimum amount I can put in?"
[143]
Well, you have to cover the cost of insurance
[147]
that was dictated under the tax citations
[150]
under TEFRA, DEFRA, TAMRA to accommodate the maximum amount you wanted to put in.
[155]
So, the real question is, "Well, what's the most that you want to
[159]
put in?" And generally, this is called the guideline
[162]
single premium. This is how much you want to be allowed
[166]
to put into the policy over the life of the policy and no
[170]
faster than the first 11 years. And so, let's say it's 500,000.
[175]
Now, you don't have to put in 500,000. That's the
[178]
most you could put in over the first 11 years. In fact, you could probably put
[182]
that much in in the first 5 years but then you're done. There's
[186]
no limit to what it can grow to. It can grow
[190]
to millions and millions of dollars
[192]
tax-free there's only a limit to how much you can put in.
[195]
So, if you're trying to set up a contract, a policy, a savings vehicle using indexed
[201]
universal life with the least amount of premium, then
[205]
you want to think about "Well, what's the least amount
[208]
that i could probably average on a monthly basis?"
[211]
I remember when my wife and i raised our six children, when they were born,
[216]
shortly after, we would take out a universal life insurance policy on them
[221]
and start socking away 25 bucks a month. Now, that was 40 years ago, right? And so
[227]
25 bucks a month putting into their policies and then adding more money
[230]
later and so forth grew to hundreds of thousands of dollars just
[234]
at 25 bucks a month. I would say right now, if you can set
[237]
aside 500 a month in today's dollars, 500 bucks a
[241]
month, that's 6 000 a year. Now, you can put in more than that. You
[245]
can put in less than that. If you put in more, you can coast. So, if you
[250]
throw in 10 or 20 thousand and then you have to stop and not put
[254]
anything in, you can do that if the minimum amount was 500 because
[258]
you just divide that into how much you've already put into
[261]
the policy. It allows for flexibility. That's why it's called
[264]
universal life because it's universally applicable
[268]
to minimum funding, maximum funding. But the question is
[271]
"How much do you want to accumulate to generate tax-free income at the end
[277]
of the day?" And so, I back into the minimum amount when i talk
[282]
to most of my clients. Here's how. So, based upon the rates of
[287]
return that I've quoted that I have achieved... And not just
[290]
me. Heavens! Thousands of our clients that we've
[294]
helped with this have achieved incredible results. Let's
[297]
use the rule of 72.. See, the rule of 72 says that you take
[302]
the interest rate that you're earning on any
[305]
investment and divide that interest rate into the number 72. So,
[308]
8 into 72 means your money will double every 9 years.
[313]
If you're earning 10 percent, your money will double every 7.2 years.
[317]
If you're earning 7.2% which is the average that people earned in the
[322]
worst decade since the great depression,
[324]
2000-2010, just falling asleep and waking up 10
[329]
years later, people doubled their money. The average
[332]
return was 7.23%. Let's use 7 陆.
[336]
If you started stalking away 500 bucks a month
[340]
and you earned an average of 7.5%, you would have a
[343]
a million fifteen thousand dollars in 35 years.
[347]
So, I guess the quick answer is "Well, the minimum might be 500 bucks a month if
[352]
your goal is to have a million bucks and you've got 35 years to get there."
[356]
Or if you had a lump sum, how much could i set aside so that 30 years from now i
[360]
have a million if i have 125,000 right now? Well,
[365]
125,000 right now, if you're earning 7.2%,
[369]
it will double every 10 years. So, 125,000 grows to
[373]
250,000 in 10 years. 250 doubles to 500 in the next 10 and 500 doubles to a
[379]
million in the next 10. And so, it's it's quite simple. But what I
[383]
alluded to is when i met with people, I would say,
[386]
"How much money do you need in today's dollars?" And
[390]
they would say, "You know, this would be like 30 years ago."
[393]
Well, I need at least $3,000 a month on top of
[396]
social security to buy gas and groceries. I go, "Okay."
[399]
3,000 bucks a month. So, that would be
[402]
some type of an investment vehicle that would generate
[406]
36,000 a year of of cash flow at 3,000 a month.
[410]
But we have to take into consideration inflation. What do you think inflation
[414]
will average? And they'd say, "Oh, let's say 5%." Well, that means the cost of
[418]
living will double every 15 years. That means
[421]
that 3,000 a month will only buy what 1500 a
[424]
month bought 15 years earlier. So, you're going to need 6,000 a
[428]
month and 15 years to buy the same gallons of gas and loaves of bread that
[431]
three thousand a month bought 15 years earlier. And if you are
[435]
looking 30 years down the road, it doubles again.
[438]
So, 6,000 goes to 12,000. You're going to need 12,000
[442]
a month to buy the same gallons of gas and loaves of bread that 3 000 a month
[446]
buys today. So, in order to have 12,000 a month that's
[450]
144,000 a year. We're going to have to if we
[453]
assume a 7% rate of return or a 10 rate of return.
[456]
We back into it and we go we need a million and a half, we need 2 million. We
[460]
need 3 million dollar nest egg to hit your goal. And so, it's really a
[464]
function of not what's the minimum how much do you
[468]
need to set aside and then with flexibility
[472]
the allowed to put in nothing or a very low amount. But it's really what's the
[478]
most that i can put in to achieve my goals.
[482]
So, yeah. You could become a millionaire by
[485]
socking away 500 bucks a month for 30 years at 7.5%
[489]
interest. If you're in 10%, you'll do it
[491]
quicker. But maybe a million is not going to be enough. And so, you may
[496]
need to accumulate 2 million or 4 million.
[499]
Can I tell you people who have used max-funded indexed universal life, IUL
[505]
where it was structured correctly and funded properly
[508]
under the TEFRA, DEFRA and TAMRA guidelines,
[511]
this has turned into a cash cow for them. I call it the
[515]
the Laser Fund,. It's the title of my most recent book.
[518]
It has actually two books in one. A left brain side and a right brain side that
[522]
has stories and examples. You will see in here that there are
[525]
people who started out with $500,000. Maybe 30 years ago.
[530]
And so using the same math 500,000 doubling every
[536]
7.2 years... Because they have averaged 10 like I have. So, 500,000 doubles to a
[543]
million in 7 陆 years, let's say. In
[546]
15 years, it's doubled from a million to 2 million. In 22 and a
[550]
half years, it's doubled again to 4 million. And at
[554]
the end of 30 years, their original 500,000 in the laser fund
[558]
is worth 8 million bucks. And that 8 million dollars at 10% is
[562]
generating 800,000 a year of tax-free cash flow
[567]
for as long as they live. Do you know what any other vehicle that does that?
[571]
If you want to know how and why, that's why i wrote this book. It's my 11th book.
[577]
I'll pay for the book, you pay $5.95 shipping and handling and i'll fire one
[581]
out to you. Just go to laserfund.com and you learn how to be able to have
[588]
this work for you and not outlive your money.
[591]
And to be able to have a vehicle that will accumulate your money
[594]
tax-free. And it doesn't matter what you put into it.
[598]
It will knock the socks off of any other investment vehicle that's only tax
[602]
deferred especially in the markets where it's
[606]
volatile. Because this is stable.
