your financial future in helping you unleash your financial destiny
[7]
I've been financially free from the age of 26 and one of my life's purpose and
[10]
passions right now is to help everyone else figure out how they can get their
[14]
life put together to live life on their terms the way that they want I get
[17]
questions all the time from people on different financial philosophies and
[20]
strategies because I definitely think backwards than most people most wealthy
[24]
people do and today what I want to do is I want to have this conversation with
[27]
you about a recent question I got on life insurance and the question was how
[32]
does life insurance work as an investment so today I'm going to talk
[36]
about it is life insurance and investment is it an investment that you
[40]
should care about and I'm gonna break that down for you
[55]
is life insurance a good investment let's find out
[58]
first of all let's understand what it is there are two types of life insurance
[61]
one is called term and the other is called whole and whole life and term
[68]
life are different from each other term is really cheap and all you're doing is
[72]
investing in your death benefit whether it's a good investment or not yeah if
[76]
you have loved ones that's an investment that will take care of them whole life
[81]
insurance what it does it actually has a living benefit as opposed to just a
[86]
death benefit which means that you can get a benefit not just your loved ones
[89]
you both can here's how whole life insurance policy works number one when
[94]
you put money every month into a life insurance policy it's like a forced
[98]
savings account as if you will a small portion will go towards your death
[102]
benefit let's say that I have a death benefit of three hundred thousand
[106]
dollars if I were to die and then let's also say that I'm building some cash
[109]
value I might have a payment of $400 a month or $200 a month or $100 a month or
[116]
or three thousand dollars a month or a lot more for some of you they're using
[119]
this as a rapid wealth strategy and a small percentage will go to the death
[123]
benefit and then the rest of it is going to go towards building what's called
[127]
cash value and this is money that you can access from the policy if you set it
[131]
up the right way here's some of the benefits oftentimes with the banks that
[136]
are out there that set up these policies I call them banks because that's really
[140]
what they are this is you setting up your own personal bank and those banks
[144]
guess what they're paying you they're paying you five percent dude what's your
[148]
bank paying you probably a whole lot less and a normal bank if it is
[153]
government insured will usually insured up to 250,000 dollars here what I love
[159]
about this type of Bank is that my money is entirely untouchable what I mean by
[164]
that is someone cannot litigate and access this money and actually pull it
[168]
out of the account it's yours which i think is pretty awesome the third
[172]
benefit that I really love about this is that I can borrow my money out and what
[177]
I can do is I'm going to build what I call a tax shelter the tax shelter means
[182]
this every time I make a payment every month into building that
[186]
account that pit gets deeper and deeper and deeper I can borrow the money I can
[190]
use it to invest I can use it for business I can use it for a number of
[194]
things and then when I pay the money back my money gets to grow tax-free at
[200]
that dividend rate how cool is that like that's huge so based on this loan when
[205]
people ask this question is life insurance and investment how is it
[209]
investment well for me it's an investment different than the way most
[212]
are looking at it check out my perspective the world first of all says
[216]
hey you're earning 5% that's diversification that's better than your
[221]
savings account that's probably not too different than your 401k in your IRA so
[224]
yeah it's a good investment this is where I want to challenge that if all
[229]
you're doing is earning 5% on your money you're screwed you're never gonna be
[233]
able to earn enough money for retirement to get where you want to go because 5%
[237]
compounding over time it is pathetic you've got to start super young and
[241]
you've got to be often committed for 40 years maybe 50 years but I have the
[247]
ability to pull this money out and I have the ability to put it into business
[251]
I can put it into a number of other vehicles for me I dumped that sucker
[255]
right into real estate why because I can get my real estate to
[258]
produce 20% 25% I can produce much bigger gains and I'm doing that on
[263]
properties I'm buying every single day of the week 20% is bigger than 5% in
[268]
this scenario you can combine them together and you can get the benefits of
[272]
both of them when I say that whole life insurance is a great investment I don't
[276]
mean in and of itself I mean because in and of itself I get a death benefit I'm
[281]
getting a dividend way bigger than I'm getting anywhere else no one else can
[285]
touch it it's producing these awesome tax benefits but I can pull it out and
[289]
guess what I can do I can put it right into the game of real estate and this is
[293]
where it becomes extraordinary because now I can layer my banking policy with
[298]
life insurance and I can layer it on top of my real estate and the two of them
[301]
combined are significantly bigger and way more successful than they would be
[305]
apart if you have learned the discipline of saving money then you should be
[310]
saving money this way instead of just putting it into a silly bank account
[315]
because every dollar that you have here gives you benefits that no ordinary or
[319]
normal bank could actually ever give you and number
[321]
two it's going to eventually be time for you to make your move
[325]
there's gonna be an amazing deal a business acquisition a business that you
[328]
want to start a real estate deal something where you're saying it's time
[331]
to get some super leverage I need to extend my arms of leverage and how am I
[335]
going to do that I'm gonna do that by accessing my whole life policy I'm gonna
[339]
put it in my investment give me an opportunity potential for
[342]
some higher returns pick up dual benefits my friends for me that is not
[346]
only one of the most sophisticated approaches to real estate investment in
[350]
business but it picks up all these other benefits that you can't find anywhere
[354]
else now here's the downside you could talk to anyone who sells life insurance
[359]
and they would love to sell you a term policy or whole policy but very few know
[363]
how to structure a policy that gives you all of the benefits designed for future
[368]
investing which means that you've got to find the people out there that know how
[373]
to do it now I've only met three people in the last decade that know how to
[377]
structure these in a way that really benefits you and I with our future
[381]
investments and what I've done is if you click the link below I'll give you
[385]
immediate access to a list of the people that I work with people I've worked with
[389]
that I implicitly trust that have your best interests at heart
[392]
now whether you're just starting to get ahead or whether you've been in the
[396]
financial game for a long time the time to set up a whole life policy that
[399]
supports your investments is now the longer you have it the better the
[404]
advantage and if you already have a life insurance policy but it's not designed
[407]
to give you this benefit it is time to make a changeover and the individuals in
