Oh everyone I'm Steve savant host of the
[11]
business insurance on and today with me
[12]
from outlook like com Diggy me hey piggy
[15]
hi Steve how are you I'm just dandy
[17]
welcome to a interview again today we're
[19]
talking about term versus whole life I
[22]
would talk about controversy that's a
[24]
pretty big one and we're also going to
[26]
talk a little bit about term versus
[28]
whole life in a health condition because
[30]
that's kind of a different story so talk
[32]
about a little bit about term and whole
[35]
life whole life it's for your whole life
[38]
term is for a temporary time right a
[40]
little bit the Ying and the yang of that
[42]
yeah people often ask us whether to buy
[45]
a term life insurance policy or a
[47]
permanent policy such as whole life or
[50]
else Universal Life also has some
[53]
guarantees and that you can get that
[55]
will make it not lapse for the whole
[58]
rest of your life in other words make it
[60]
a permanent policy and it does depend on
[63]
the situation it depends on the need
[66]
whether your need is temporary or
[68]
whether it's a permanent need in other
[71]
words do you want something that's just
[73]
going to pay up until your kids graduate
[76]
from college or whether your mortgage is
[78]
paid off or do you want something that
[80]
will last the whole rest of your life
[82]
and be there for your final expenses and
[85]
that type of thing you just brought up
[88]
an interesting point because when i
[89]
think of final expenses i'm pretty
[91]
certain everybody's going to have final
[94]
expenses right because everybody's going
[96]
to have a funeral and because everyone's
[97]
going to have some final expenses that
[100]
portion of any term purchase when you're
[102]
considering term versus a wife i should
[104]
be considering some portion of that
[107]
that's going to be forever because that
[109]
issue a final expense and funeral costs
[112]
will never go away and there could be
[114]
others i'm just doing the basics and so
[116]
a lot of times we say well we're done we
[118]
don't need the coverage anymore but
[120]
remember one of the issues on our side
[122]
when we do the show I interview a lot of
[124]
people said they say most of our estate
[126]
planning almost all of the very big
[128]
premium dollars are going to Jerry at
[131]
your clients who needed permanent
[133]
insurance past 65 and solely I just want
[137]
to make sure our listeners remember
[139]
things like final expense as you pointed
[141]
out and funeral they will never go away
[143]
right they're going to be there forever
[145]
and a lot of people like you said they
[147]
think that I'm going to well common
[150]
mantra is to you know by term and invest
[152]
the rest but they won health condition
[156]
one you know really serious medical
[159]
problem can eat up a lot of what a
[161]
person saves whereas life insurance is
[164]
always going to be there so it's a safe
[166]
way to pay for final expenses as well
[169]
and I've noticed that the there's always
[171]
going to be mantras out there and kind
[174]
of rules of thumb like by Turner that's
[175]
a difference but the actual surveys show
[178]
that clients by term and spend the
[180]
difference absolute 0 we really don't
[182]
see we don't obey the ideology that we
[186]
espouse even in financial planning
[187]
remember our ideology is one thing our
[190]
behavior is quite another so when I
[192]
think about it now let's talk about it
[194]
what happens when I have an impairment
[196]
though right does that change the
[198]
thinking well and that's a good example
[201]
where the ideology does not necessarily
[203]
fit part of the reason is because not
[207]
every type of person with an impairment
[211]
can get a traditional life insurance
[213]
policy so yes for a very healthy 30 year
[218]
old young woman term life insurance may
[221]
just cost next to nothing and be a
[223]
wonderful choice but you get to have a
[226]
you know a 70 year old woman with a real
[230]
serious health condition she may not
[232]
even have the choice of buying a term
[234]
policy so that is where one of the
[239]
things that is a misconception is that
[241]
sometimes serious health conditions do
[243]
limit the choices you have the other
[246]
thing that enters in with a health
[250]
condition with life insurance is very
[253]
few people with a health condition are
[255]
going to improve in their health there
[257]
are some that you will for example
[259]
cancer if you can get through 10 years
[262]
of remission with cancer you may
[264]
eventually be able to get a less
[266]
expensive life insurance policy then you
[269]
could when you first got diagnosed with
[271]
cancer or
[272]
or shortly thereafter but when you're
[274]
looking at something more progressive
[276]
like diabeetus where the risk is always
[278]
there that you might have interop with
[280]
the year some kind of complication
[281]
develop it's really best to get the
[283]
premium locked in as long as you can
[285]
well I think about that sometimes you
[287]
make the decision between term and whole
[289]
life simply based on wow I do have an
[292]
impairment and makes a little bit more
[293]
expensive but so that i can buy
[295]
affordable life that's why i went over
[297]
to the terms I asian and remember a lot
[300]
of these have convertible exactly ready
[302]
to convert so you could do it maybe you
[304]
came into money I I saw the last two
[306]
conversions were based on somebody
[308]
inheriting money right so now they have
[310]
the money they said hey I also have
[312]
diabetes type 2 i'm gonna make my policy
[314]
permanent yeah so when you're thinking
[315]
about term or whole life and you're
[319]
having an impairment issue look at the
[321]
timeline issues what are going to be
[322]
your permanent liabilities versus your
[324]
temporary liabilities yes and just put
[327]
that and measure that and make a
[329]
decision listen you can go out to
[330]
outlook life.com and look at either the
[333]
term or permanent the quarter another
[335]
look at a book and figure out what's
[338]
good for you and make sure that it's
[339]
always affordable life insurance that's
[341]
right thank you
[350]
you
