Hi, I'm Tony Manganiello,
[51]
bestselling personal finance author.
[53]
Since 1995 my business partner and I,
[55]
John Cummuta, have taught over three million people
[59]
how to accumulate real wealth.
[61]
And accumulating real wealth means
[63]
you're making smart decisions with your money.
[65]
And believe it or not, it applies
[67]
to what kind of life insurance you choose.
[70]
The secret to buying life insurance isn't
[72]
to buying term or permanent insurance.
[75]
The secret is to learn three simple facts
[77]
on how to combine them so
[79]
you can build a life insurance contract
[81]
that pays for itself and pays you.
[84]
(whooshing)
[86]
The first simple fact is
[87]
that term insurance is cheap and temporary.
[89]
Yeah, I know.
[91]
Big surprise, right?
[93]
But a fact that may surprise you is
[95]
that less than 2% of all term policies will ever pay out,
[99]
and that fact means that there's a
[101]
better than 98% chance you're going
[103]
to outlive your term insurance,
[105]
and what that means is you're gonna pay thousands
[108]
of dollars for nothing.
[109]
Your reward for living is to wind up
[112]
with a few grand less in your pocket.
[114]
That's not being smart with your money.
[116]
The reason most people buy term insurance,
[118]
though, is because it is cheap
[120]
and it gives them peace of mind.
[122]
But that peace of mind is only temporary
[125]
and it begins to dissolve real fast
[127]
when you're getting older and you're approaching the end
[129]
of that term and you realize, to replace that coverage,
[133]
can cost 10 to 20 times more, even if you're in good health.
[137]
But term isn't all bad.
[139]
There is a way to use it that provides
[141]
a very significant lifetime benefit
[143]
for you in your future, even after that term expires.
[146]
(whooshing)
[148]
Simple fact number two is that permanent insurance,
[151]
also known as whole life or cash value insurance,
[154]
costs more than term.
[155]
Yeah, I know.
[156]
Another big surprise, right?
[157]
But there are two primary reasons why it costs more.
[161]
Reason number one is you can't outlive it.
[164]
That's why it's called permanent or whole life insurance.
[166]
Unlike term insurance, a permanent insurance policy will pay
[170]
out as long as you make your premium payments.
[173]
Term insurance only pays out if you die during the term,
[177]
even if you've paid all your premiums.
[179]
And like I said, less than 2% of term policies pay out.
[182]
That's why it's so much cheaper.
[184]
The second reason permanent insurance is
[186]
more expensive than term is because
[189]
you're not just paying for a death benefit.
[191]
Part of your premium is applied
[193]
toward something called cash value.
[195]
The cash value of a permanent insurance policy
[198]
grows tax-free and can offer significant benefits.
[202]
The typical permanent insurance policy,
[204]
however, well, it performs rather poorly
[207]
when it comes to the return on the cash value,
[209]
and this is why there are a number
[211]
of financial gurus that demonize permanent life insurance.
[215]
Most of the people buy what
[216]
I call an off-the-shelf permanent life insurance contract,
[220]
and that's the kind most of the gurus demonize
[222]
and claim is a waste of money.
[224]
Well, in some ways they're right.
[226]
The off-the-shelf permanent insurance cash value is limited
[230]
for growth because of the tax advantages,
[232]
and when it comes to taxes,
[234]
you know who gets involved, right?
[236]
The IRS.
[238]
The IRS has limitations on how
[240]
much cash can build inside an insurance policy,
[243]
and that limitation is based on
[245]
how much death benefit that policy carries.
[248]
(bell ringing)
[250]
When it comes to the debate
[251]
over term versus permanent life insurance,
[254]
If you pay close attention, always a battle of the extremes.
[257]
It's almost always a this-or-that argument.
[262]
Lemme know in the comments if you think
[263]
that deciding what kind of life insurance you should buy has
[267]
always been a decision between term or permanent insurance.
[271]
The this-or-that idea is kind of
[273]
like saying chocolate or peanut butter.
[277]
Thank god H. B. Reese didn't think that way, right?
[280]
(angelic singing)
[282]
Being smart with your money means you understand that,
[285]
between now and when you wanna quit working someday,
[287]
you're going to generate a finite amount of income,
[290]
and when it comes to accumulating wealth,
[292]
you need to be sure you're getting the
[294]
most outta every penny of that income,
[296]
especially when it comes to how
[298]
you spend money on necessities like life insurance.
[301]
To do that, you need to have a this-and-that mentality
[304]
so you don't get screwed.
[306]
The smart thing to do is to do what many rich families,
[309]
and even some of the biggest companies, do:
[311]
combine term and permanent life insurance into one contract.
[316]
And combining both kinds of insurance
[318]
into one contract leads us to simple fact number three.
[322]
(whooshing)
[323]
Simple fact number three is that,
[325]
when you combine term and permanent insurance,
[327]
you get one of the most powerful financial strategies
[330]
you can find.
[331]
This is a strategy used by many rich families,
[333]
like I said, to tax-shelter their money while it grows.
[337]
But unlike many tax shelters, like IRAs and 401ks
[341]
that tie up your money until retirement,
[343]
this kind of insurance contract allows
[346]
you access to your money at any time for any reason.
[349]
Here are a few more facts about this kind of contract.
[352]
Combining a term insurance component
[354]
on top of a permanent insurance policy means
[357]
you can stuff the contract with cash
[359]
and still remain compliant with the IRS regulations.
[363]
This is money that grows tax-free
[365]
and is liquid while it grows.
[367]
And with the right kind of contract,
[369]
you can use your money for things
[371]
like paying of debt while it's earning
[373]
you interest in dividends for your future
[376]
at the same time.
[377]
This means your cash value is growing
[379]
much faster than it would in one
[381]
of those off-the-shelf kind of contracts
[383]
that the gurus are always complaining about,
[385]
and because the cash value grows so much faster,
[388]
the growth inside the contract begins
[390]
to pay for the death benefit
[392]
and your payments are transformed from premium payments
[395]
into wealth accumulation contributions.
[399]
This kind of strategy transforms
[401]
your life insurance contract
[402]
into a cash accumulation engine,
[405]
an engine where your cash is growing tax-free.
[408]
And by the time you're ready to quit working,
[410]
this kind of cash accumulation engine will have
[412]
so much cash in the contract that
[414]
it will be able to pay you and still grow
[417]
enough to pay for the death benefit,
[419]
even after you've stopped paying premiums.
[423]
This means, instead of wasting thousands of dollars
[426]
on a term policy that you'll probably outlive
[428]
or wasting money on an off-the-shelf
[430]
permanent insurance policy where
[432]
your premium payments are structured inefficiently,
[436]
your precious hard-earned dollars are being used
[438]
in the smartest way possible.
[441]
Now let's take a quick look at
[442]
how this would work for the Fortunado family.
[444]
They're the sample family from my book,
[446]
The Debt-Free Millionaire.
[448]
The Fortunados are making $2,575 in monthly debt payments.
[452]
They owe over $238,000 for their house,
[456]
a couple cars, and a handful of credit cards.
[458]
They have 30 years until they wanna retire,
[461]
and between now and then they're going
[462]
to generate $1,656,000 in net income.
[468]
When they combine term and permanent life insurance
[471]
into one contract that's designed to build tax-free wealth
[474]
and use it the way we teach,
[476]
here's what they can accomplish.
[478]
They can pay off all of their debt
[480]
in nine years and nine months,
[481]
they can save over $169,000 in interest payments,
[486]
and they can have almost $50,000 in tax-free cash
[490]
by the time they're debt-free.
[492]
But this is just the beginning.
[494]
Because they wanna continue to be smart with their money,
[496]
they keep using this kind of strategy,
[498]
and by the time they reach retirement age,
[501]
they have $1,000,0036 in tax-free cash,
[506]
and they do this with no change
[508]
to their personal monthly cashflow.
