    First, I want to say that I appreciate several of the pieces of information in your videos, especially the sunsetting of lucrative bonds putting pressure on the insurance companies to chase the return. That said, I believe your broad-brushing and generalisation of IULs borderlines "straw-manning", where you don't apply the same intellectual consistency and nuance when discussing IULs as you do when you discuss WLs. This in turn undermines your overall credibility. Here's how: When you're breaking down and explaining whole life policies you show illustrations, and you show "the good, the bad and the ugly" among different whole life policies. You're allowing yourself to be nuanced by explaining that a whole life policy needs to be PROPERLY structured, and then you show examples in some of your videos, ranging from "bad" to "best". This is great, and is in line with my own experience comparing multiple policies from multiple companies before I landed on our current whole life policies (Big believer in whole life here). In my personal experience the State Farm policy wouldn't break even until year 30 (horribly structured), Northwestern Mutual's wouldn't break even until year 15 (better but still too pricey), whereas Penn Mutual would break even in year 5 (very well structured policy, mirroring closely the optimal whole life policies you've shown, shoutout to Jaden Zubal!). When Dave Ramsey and others criticise whole life, you'll allow yourself to point to those bad policies and say: "yeah, if this was the policy, I would AGREE with Dave Ramsey that THAT whole life policy is bad". But then you would say: "Here's how to do it PROPERLY" and show how. You wouldn't appreciate the broad brush generalisations using a bad whole life policy to justify that ALL whole life policies are bad. You want nuance, show the gray, show the good policies and the bad ones, and why they're different. Yet, you do the exact same as Dave Ramsey and others criticising whole life when you discuss IULs. Just like there's a broad range of whole life policy variations, there's the same for IULs. And yes, there are some pretty bad ones out there. And yes, there are some agents out there to line their own pockets. But there are some IULs designed with the same approach you recommend for whole life. In my view it would be intellectually honest and consistent of you to attempt to STEEL-MAN IULs by not letting the BAD products speak for ALL IUL policies the same way Dave Ramsey and others speak of whole life. You said this about Curtis Ray yesterday: "“.....Curtis Ray are 2 of the most dangerous people when it comes to your personal finances….”. Yes, you're meeting with him to discuss, and hopefully both of you will benefit from the conversation by having truly open minds, allowing the facts to decide, but I think it's "sensationalist" and unproductive of you to conclude publicly about Curtis Ray before even having had that in-depth conversation with him. My advice? You roll your eyes when Dave Ramsey and others take a "State Farm whole life policy" as "the golden example of what whole life is" and use that as a straw man to say that ALL whole life is bad. Don't "Dave Ramsey" your approach to IULs by cherrypicking the bad IULs without having ALSO first given the people that PROPERLY structure IULs the chance to give you the details, the performance that matches the illustrations.

    That's a fair statement. I have done plenty of videos on the good and bad of whole life insurance and why it has a bad name in the past. You can find in my channel if you want. It's there. Secondly, I hope I'm wrong on Curtis. But as a whole, I am not simply using a couple bad companies and broad stroking the entire Industry. I am looking at the product from a place of principle and WHY companies are going that route instead of the whole life route. It's because the insurance company is safer and you the insured take on more risk. Show me an IUL policy you have written 10+ years ago. Show me the initial illustration. Now Show me an inforce illustration. The illustration for the sale will outperform the inforce illustration every time. I've looked at HUNDREDS of these. I am going to be doing many more videos. Some more technical in nature. Some more opinion driven. Much of my problem with IUL comes down to my philosophy of the roll insurance should play in someones life. It's not meant to be an investment....period. in fact, the industry as a whole is coming down with regulation changes BECAUSE so many agents are misrepresenting IUL'S.

    My main thing on Curtis Ray that I have a challenge with is using policy loans to buy more insurance to create Arbitrage. I would be SHOCKED if companies let him do that because it puts a TON of financial stress on the companies reserve requirements... In addition, while it may have worked during the greatest bull market run in history, I don't believe it'll work in a flatter economic environment because there won't be arbitrage....there will be additional loan expenses eating into the performance of the CV. Tap that on top of the nature of the insurance companies ability to change expenses and fees and cap rates to generate revenue for THEM, it's a dangerous combo. The fact that IUL agents want to dismiss those facts seem very self serving to me. I've sold more IUL in my life than most people ever will... I'm just speaking from experience. And sharing my story. If you think I need to do a better job sharing both sides, I appreciate that input and will try to make content both ways....

    Actually, IUL and WL can both be structured where the agent makes less and more CV goes to the client. However, IUL pure commission rates are much higher across the board than whole life commission rates. Structure and funding are important, but you can never eliminate the risk on the IUL side. And AG49B coming out is going to change a lot of sales practices for agents that sell IUL for retirement income. Not going to be able to illustrate positive Arbitrage anymore, and income dropping by 50%...exactly what I've been saying for YEARS

    Agent contracted commission is relevant only to a certain extent. IUL pays based on target premium with a smaller percentage paid on overfunded premium. I don't understand the relevance of your comment. It's a top down situation. PHP has likely a 160%+ contract at the top. That's getting paid somewhere. Starting agents at 30% and making them split deals with their upline who are already getting paid an override is ridiculous....

Took first payment before notifying me if approved by underwriting! Nothing I'm learning on my own, was presented to me by agent. Fast and loose. After policy was delivered, I asked for copies of my signatures. Agent said unnecessary, ...just signatures to confirm policy received. I asked to take a picture of signed paperwork. Again agent said, unnecessary. Just paperwork indicating policy was delivered. Very sketchy. So I requested refund, requiring full surrender.

    So, the first time I heard about IUL was in the 90s. I made a spreadsheet of the S&P500 rates of return per annum. In a corresponding column, I put the IUL match, or min or max. The yearly returns over 3 decades were closely matched. The upside to the IUL is that you never go backwards and have to make up the losses. I saw my 401k lose 40% in a year. I didn't recover in a year. To rebutt your commission accusation, in an IUL where there are PUAs to build cash value, the commission is only paid on the insurance portion of the monthly payments. Maybe you could show an actual statement of a disappointing IUL and give all the background. Did they make PUAs? Did they take a loan and not return the cash value? Compare the illustration to the actual outcome.

    Lost about $700, Had a whole-life policy of $350,000 for $66 per month that was convertible to a UL. Once it converted, the policy's value went to $135,000.00, and they wanted $308 per pay period to put on the investment /savings side. When I bought it, the agent said it would just convert at the exact cost, and I would pay into the savings side. Just lies.

    Out of curiosity, what was your age when you got the whole life vs the universal life and was it a universal life policy or an index universal life policy? Did you look at the illustration prior to signing off on it (this is a mandatory requirement) and was there a difference in underwriters rating from the whole life vs when you go the universal life policy. I ask because a $66 for $350,000 whole life policy (especially one that is dividend paying) is darn near impossible (Im a broker) unless you got this policy decades ago. Your decrease in death benefit and increase in premium sounds like they did a minimum death benefit, maximum cash value concept. That is ideal for life insurance so that most of your premium is going to the cash and the bare minimum is to be allocated to the cost of insurance. I love if you could clarify though.

Well, I've told my clients that it's a guestimate & nobody knows what cash will be there in 20-30 yrs. And if he believes that they don't perform then he should tell that to one of my clients that had a premium of $300/mo, & paid for 9 yrs & has $41,000 in CV, after expenses & I recall seeing the numbers that the S&P was ZERO for at least 2 yrs.

    The thing that sets off a red flag is downside "protection." Downside protection has counter party risk and the insurance company is bearing that risk.

I bought into IUL with the hope of over funding the cash value in the early years but like you said the policy charges are quickly eating into my cash value and not growing as shown in the illustration. I hate that I may have to wait 10 years to cancel the policy so I don’t have to pay the cancellation penalty.

That's because I was working with other clients and doing other stuff. I also own a career coaching company (CareerNextAgency.com) and have written a book (ExecutiveJobSearchSecrets.com). I help BetterWealth.com with their marketing and love helping agents with their marketing. However, I am really not a fan of actually selling and managing clients. So I focus on helping agents be successful now in their business. I am simply ANTI IUL because of the fact that I have worked for one of the top IUL companies and I understand WHY they are selling IUL as a profit center compared to Whole Life. Look me up and you will see I had no complaints EVER against me. Look Doug Up and you will find lawsuit after lawsuit. He says he is an authority....lol. He is a fraud. See the video I just did on him. I am researching it, but I would venture to guess that he is not allowed to be anymore due to the class action lawsuit along with his organization selling a ponzi scheme as a mechanism to fund IUL policies... disgusting.

And if I remember correctly the historical number is a bit higher than 7% which helps explains. Plus and more importantly, my agents, and I know many agents do too, designed my policy such that the insurance policy I'd buy decrease as I get older therefore the insurance cost won't keep increasing much (people typically need less protection when they get older with less debt and responsibility so it makes sense); so the cost part won't eat into your accumulated money especially you will see more significantly compounding interest come out.

    That is indeed the question. And while he (and many other IUL agents) say they can, it isn't possible. In this instance, a little bit of common sense will take you a long ways and it's why I get so frustrated with IUL agents... Life insurance companies are masters at managing risk. Their general accounts are earning 4-4.5% if they are lucky right now. Knowing that fact, if what Doug says is true, why wouldn't the life insurance companies simply implement the strategy across their entire portfolio (or at least a large portion)?🤔🧐 especially when you take into consideration that they wouldn't even have the insurance costs that go along with it. In short...it's not possible. Watch the Playlist I shared

    I've owned whole life policies for years, and I frown on borrowing against them idea. I have done it, and I think it has worked for me. But the only reason it did was by way of the success I've had in my other investments. The life policies were good in that I bought them when young and I didn't know anything about investing. Also, Roth IRAs hadn't been invented yet. Now I'm flush in all my accounts (401k-IRA, 401k-Roth, Roth, taxable, and I have whole life policies for death benefit, so I really question the investment value of life insurance. I do like having the death benefit. Find out how to invest as early as you can, and you won't need to borrow money from yourself if that even makes sense. You do have to pay back the loans with interest or you're pretty much screwed. Just remember if you don't get a great return on the money you borrowed you're up a creek. You can't just say "ah well, I only owe myself so it's no big deal". The consquences of not being able to pay it back are your policy lapsing or taking a huge tax hit.

    The guaranteed column for an IUL is zero %. If the S&P is negative for 30 years, your insurance policy is the last thing you will have to worry about. The insurance needs to be minimized. If you are using paid up additions to juice up the cash value in whole life you are using life insurance as an investment. The cash out feature in a good IUL that credits interest back of the loan and zero's it out is much more efficient vehicle. Agents that run illustrations at 8,9,10% will have disappointed clients. As long as the illustrations are in the low 6% range thi gs are good.

She currently has 13 IUL's herself (8.5 mil in insurance now). Anyhow, she almost talked my husband and I into it. I had trusted her and seen her success. However, she left the CONS about the IUL out of her presentation. When I looked into it myself, I had a very bad feeling about it ( and finding out if you need that money back after 2 -3 years into it - good luck). We opted out in the pre-qualifying process, thank the Lord. She really thinks they are the best thing ever. I believe she has been brainwashed by the people who educated her and as you said, those charts. And of course her accounts have made 12% interest in the last 6 years so far, so she is not seeing any problems yet.
