have you ever had the thought of what
[2]
happens to my life insurance policy if I
[5]
become disabled and I can't work so I
[7]
can't make an income so I can't pay my
[10]
premiums has that thought ever crossed
[12]
your mind I want you to type in the
[13]
comments below if you wondered that
[16]
before go ahead and say yes and if you
[18]
haven't go ahead and share with me know
[20]
as well that's never been a thought on
[22]
your mind before now did you know that
[23]
you can create a bulletproof life
[26]
insurance policy by making sure that you
[28]
have this one small tweak his rider this
[31]
addition that adds on to your life
[33]
insurance policy to make sure it's
[35]
bulletproof meaning it performs the best
[38]
possible in the widest range of
[41]
circumstances this is called waiver of
[44]
premium waiver like I'm waving a flag or
[47]
waiver like I can bypass the ability to
[51]
do something of premium I can bypass the
[54]
ability to pay premiums now this applies
[56]
to disability in a really interesting
[58]
way because if you become disabled the
[61]
policy will be paid for by the life
[63]
insurance company that's right the life
[65]
insurance company itself will pay the
[67]
premiums to keep your policy and moving
[70]
forward so I want to walk you through
[71]
three questions that you need to think
[73]
about to consider how to make sure that
[76]
your life insurance policy can become
[78]
that cornerstone of your financial
[80]
success story and can really truly pass
[83]
on that legacy and perform the way that
[86]
you had hoped it would now the first
[87]
question is what would happen to my life
[90]
insurance policy if I became disabled
[92]
now many people don't actually consider
[93]
this question but it's really important
[95]
you need to know what exactly will
[97]
happen if you become disabled and you
[100]
can't pay your premiums now in a typical
[101]
case without this waiver of premium
[103]
rider your policy would have multiple
[106]
options now if it's been enforced for a
[108]
certain length of time you could reduced
[110]
pay up meaning you could use your
[112]
current cash value to buy as much death
[114]
benefit as possible so that no more
[116]
premium is due now you really want to be
[118]
careful that you don't put the policy in
[120]
a MEC status or modified and down that
[122]
contract because then you lose your tax
[124]
advantages but that is an option for you
[127]
on the policy or you could use a policy
[130]
loan to borrow against your cash value
[131]
to pay your premiums
[133]
or you could pay from policy values
[135]
meaning use up a portion of the cash
[137]
value or have the dividends go ahead and
[139]
be applied to pay the premiums so
[141]
there's lots of options there's many
[143]
ways that you can move forward and keep
[145]
your life-insurance policy intact
[146]
without paying premiums out of your own
[149]
pocket but those options are dependent
[151]
on how much cash values in your policy
[153]
and how long it's been enforced
[155]
also the key to note is that without
[157]
waiver of premium every single other
[159]
option will limit your cash value or
[162]
limit your death benefit from performing
[165]
the way that you had hoped when you put
[166]
a policy in place so that's the first
[168]
question to answer if you want a
[169]
bulletproof life insurance policy the
[172]
second question is how often does
[174]
disability actually happen now I know we
[176]
probably all have someone that we can
[178]
relate to that we've seen either a
[180]
family member or a friend who has become
[182]
disabled or we've seen a story of
[184]
disability but many times we can have
[185]
this idea or mindset that it could never
[187]
happen to me
[188]
now unfortunately disability is way more
[190]
common than we would like to hope here's
[192]
a few statistics that I want to read for
[194]
you 25 percent of 20 year olds entering
[196]
the workforce will suffer some income
[199]
interrupting disability during their
[201]
careers that's 25 percent if you're 20
[204]
years old 25 percent of you will be in a
[206]
position where you'll have an income
[208]
disrupting disability 1 in 8 workers
[211]
will be disabled for 5 years or more
[213]
during their working careers 1 in 8
[215]
disabled for 5 years or more now that's
[218]
a long disability and a 1 in 8 chance
[220]
that's actually pretty high and if we
[222]
look at disability overall 12% of
[225]
Americans which is over 37 million
[227]
people are classified as disabled that's
[231]
a lot of people so instead of thinking
[233]
it could never happen to me it's really
[235]
humbling and sobering to think that we
[238]
really want to make sure we're prepared
[239]
for the worst circumstance to happen in
[242]
our life even if we want to live for the
[245]
greatest life that we can possibly
[247]
create now the third question you need
[248]
to answer to bulletproof your life
[250]
insurance policy is to ask this what
[253]
puts me in the best position in the
[255]
widest range of circumstances now that
[258]
just means no matter what happens how I
[260]
make sure that I work out the best now
[262]
certainly having waiver of premium
[264]
allows you to make sure your
[266]
life insurance policy will perform the
[268]
best in the widest range of
[269]
circumstances what this means is that
[271]
during having your life insurance in
[273]
force if you become disabled the life
[275]
insurance policy itself will be paid for
[277]
meaning you can keep that policy in
[280]
force you can maintain building that
[282]
cash value building the death benefit
[284]
and you can be able to use this policy
[285]
to help you through the challenging
[287]
times now if you did face a disability
[289]
chances are you're not going to want to
[291]
work during that time you're probably
[292]
not gonna want to send your spouse or
[294]
your significant other to go work either
[295]
they might be taking care of you you
[298]
want to be in a position where you can
[299]
take one thing off the table and have
[302]
one less bill to be concerned about
[304]
because life insurance is really
[305]
something you want to be there for you
[307]
no matter what so to make sure that you
[310]
have insurance on your insurance
[311]
insurance that covers your ability to
[314]
not be able to pay for your life
[315]
insurance policy you really want to have
[317]
a self completing life insurance policy
[320]
and you do that by making sure you have
[321]
waiver of premium now many times people
[323]
will say I don't want waiver of premium
[325]
because it's a drag on my policy
[327]
performance meaning I'm not gonna have
[329]
as much early cash value but think of
[331]
this how much early cash value and how
[333]
much death benefit do you want in place
[335]
just to be at the risk of having to
[337]
reduce that if you did face a disability
[340]
we want to make sure that you have
[341]
confidence and peace of mind in every
[344]
circumstance to the best of your ability
[346]
and that's why waiver of premium is the
[348]
number one way that you can make sure
[350]
you bulletproof your life insurance
