    Okay, I've got to add this. Andy Panko, CFP, RICP, EA did a very nice post on LinkedIn about this podcast episode. Personally, I think he's a pompous ass... but when someone says something nice... I like them for the day. 🤣 The actual screenshot is in the "community" tab, but I'll re-type it here: "Anyone who sells Indexed Universal Life ("IUL") insurance policy absolutely must watch this! It's about an hour and a half, but well worth the time. Three folks who appear to really know and understand IULs talk in depth about the product, their concerns for how it's often inappropriately marketed, what to reasonably expect from it, tips for how to best manage it, etc. This is one of the most pragmatic and straight-shooting discussions about IULs that I've thus far come across. IUL content from Bobby Samuelson is top notch, too, for those who want to really learn about IULs and what to expect from it (not just get pitched on how much of a panacea it is) Kudos Curt Gibbs, Michael Moffat, and David H Kinder (Curt and Mike - please give David my feedback. He blocked me on LinkedIn a couple of years ago, so I can't directly tag him nor will he be able to see this post)"

    You did not touch on the fact that IUL should always be blended with minimal base and maximum annually renewable term life to keep the target premium (commission) as low as possible. For example, instead of $240,000 in an all base death benefit you should have $40,000 in base and $200,000 in annually renewable term. It massively increases the available cash value Day 1. Also, I believe in always using the high early cash value rider to increase the ratio of premiums to cash value from 50% to about 85% Day 1. If you wanted to borrow from the policy instead of taking out an indexed loan, I personally would pledge the policy as collateral for a secured bank line of credit from either Merchants and Manufacturers Bank or The Bancorp. The former has quarterly interest only payments and the latter allows you to recapitalize the interest into the loan principal. This means that the cash value never leaves the policy and as a result cannot lapse due to excessive borrowing assuming you service the bank loan. This renders the overloan protection rider redundant. All of the interest paid to the bank is tax-deductible as a business expense assuming the borrower is an LLC. Furthermore, I recommend diversification of index options using dollar cost averaging. I like Pacific Life's 1-year, 2-year, 3-year, and 5-year S&P 500 index options because it reduces the probability of receiving 0% interest. If you use increasing death benefit make sure to switch it over to a level death benefit the year you stop paying premiums into the policy. Then remember to call policy year 15 to lower the death benefit to the bare minimum so as to lower the net amount at risk and thus minimize the drag on cash value. By Age 75 assuming you have $950,000 in cash value, you would only need $1,000,000 in death benefit. In other words, the net amount at risk drops to as little as 5%. Some contracts like Pacific Life's IULs come with a no lapse guarantee to Age 90 at no additional cost. Others have an Age 121 no lapse guarantee at an additional cost. If you are looking for the most cost-efficient IULs, use a survivorship (joint) life insurance policy to cut the cost of insurance charges in half and it also enables one of the people on the policy to be uninsurable.

    Well, once u have enough money via ur investments, u don’t need insurance. Can u address this with numbers? How about throwing out some numbers? If the insurance component can be replaced with money from investments in the long run then why would one still need the insurance?? “Everything falls apart when u don’t pay for your term insurance” - well, if the policyholder could not even pay off the premiums for term insurance he would have an even bigger problem affording the premiums for whole life. It’s easy to make a bare assertion in the abstract without backing it up with numbers (and if u’ve done that u’ll know u don’t make any sense)

    Let me help you. No, if you have enough money via investments, you don't 'need' insurance. However, you will LOVE what the insurance and the tax code will allow you to do. Agreed that the premiums, whether term or whole life, still need to be paid. However, whole life has far more flexibility than most people (especially agents) are led to believe. I, and Dr. Sanjay, make plenty of sense. We've done our homework. If you're an agent (and I can assume your company name), one day you may grow out of first grade and grow your knowledge beyond the lazy mantras and "one-size-fits-all" planning strategies they have taught you. I've done the homework. But I don't do homework for other agents. Your problem will be that you don't know the tax code and you don't even have illustration software to figure anything out. Good luck to you.

    Thanks for the video. A million is not what it used to be. My wife and I will retire at 56 for her and 62 for me. We worked very hard for many years (military, GS, and teacher) and are fortunate to have multiple revenue streams, 3 pensions and 100% VA disability. With my social security at 62 we will earn between 13-14K per month. My wife will wait to 67 to draw her SS and we will not touch our 401k and TSP until we hit the age requirement. Government service doesn’t pay great in the early years, but makes for a great retirement.

    I don't believe so, but I haven't done any research on VUL policies in a long time. The closest you may find would be the 0% wash loan idea, but typically the pledged amount backing the loan doesn't stay invested in the securities (VUL) or earn indexed interest (IUL).

    The opposite of pain is pleasure. People are already in pain unless they’re unaware of it in the case of financial services. I think people take meeting based on pleasure (something sounds good) and once they’re aware of the gap between what they’re doing and what can be done, they then take action to avoid pain. In this business, most people are just unaware that’s why it has to be sold.

  • @TheFinancialAdvocacyPodcast

    I believe that the opposite of pain is relief, not pleasure. Read The Challenger Sale. Also, the way that Sid Walker positions the basis for meeting is to relieve pressure of 'being sold'. Relieve pain and watch them relax and know that everything will be okay.
