    Having a life insurance in force for life is for me a great milestone. Because I don’t regret in losing money as long as it’s for my loveones don’t lose money if I die.

    REAL SECRET: Less than 2% of all TERM life policies ever pay out. Why? Expiring TERM limits cause premiums to skyrocket causing the ill-informed life insurance "cheap term life" consumer to DROP the policy resulting in a 100% profit to the insurer.

    Actually, with permanent Life insurance policies they almost always increase in cash and death benefit level as time goes on.
    No, you don't have to die to win. Permanent life insurance if designed correctly will yield more cash than any other type of investment and do so without the risk of losses in the market and avoid loss due to taxes. Contact me and I'll prove it with a side by comparison.

    Easier said than done, to keep your life insurance in force when you die. Of course that's what everyone wants and intends to do when they buy in. But when a financial catastrophe strikes you, what do you do? You have to drop the insurance. When it comes down to food on the table or life insurance, the food is gonna come first. And that's why insurance companies sell their insurance, no? Because they know they will win most of the time. It's not easy keeping afloat in this day and age. Yes, even the 'affordable' ones become unaffordable when you lose your job. The reason the wealthy can keep theirs intact when they die is because just that, they are wealthy enough to do so. It's not that the regular folks are dumb.

    • @sunahamanagai9039
      @sunahamanagai9039 7 лет назад

      Yeah, but are insurance agents typically willing to sell you policies that are favorable to you? I'm assuming if it's favorable to the insured, it is unfavorable to the agent, eg lower commission.

      @darkcybernaut 6 лет назад +2

      Sunahama you're missing something. If instead of buying from an Insurance agent, you buy from a full financial advisor who has multiple financial federal licenses (insurance and investments), then they are supposed to guide you on how to eliminate debt faster without paying more monthly, and how to prepare for 6 months of unexpected unemployment or any other emergency, with a short-term emergency fund saving account. This is an account where you slowly save monthly money until you have 3 to 6 months of your current income. The insurance premium, savings accounts and retire should be paid with only 50% of the money you're already wasting. You should always save first and then spend the rest. If you have a negative balance by the end of each month, you should lower expenses or increase income. Is that simple, math doesn't fail. For example, If you buy at a fast-food, don't buy a combo, just the main food and drink water at home. Sacrifice any luxury which is not needed to survive, until you pay all your debts. Pay the debt with higher interests first, then when focusing in the next debt, act like if you never paid off the 1st one, and sum it to the 2nd one. A total debt that should last 20 years can be paid in 9 years like this, saving hundreds of thousands in interests.

    So do you lose the game of car insurance if you never have an accident? Is this a joke?

    • @Denzemo
      @Denzemo 7 лет назад +5

      Analogy fail; You can avoid a car accident by driving well and getting a little lucky, but the only way to never die is to never be born. If everyone was guaranteed to total their car some day, car insurance would be a lot more expensive. And in that scenario, would you buy an auto policy that only paid if you totaled your vehicle in the first 18 months, for example? Maybe, some people can self insure that. On and on the argument goes, but make no mistake, the probability of your death is... ONE.
      So now you want to talk about how you don't care if you leave anything. Bad news, you're leaving EVERYTHING, whatever it might be. So why don't you make intelligent decisions about what "everything" looks like, whenever that might be.

    .
    Im using these vids to explain to a group how to avoid the insurance hamster wheel as a youth. Invest the money instead of paying premiums. No one to deny your claim. No one to go bankrupt. No one to spend your premium money on bonuses, salaries, rents, advertising, stock options, christmas parties, company cars, telephones etc etc. Keep your money where it belongs, going directly to the event where its needed without all those pathetic, wastefull expenses.

    • @emranchowdhury5490
      @emranchowdhury5490 4 года назад

      They are attractive products. People will buy them. It gives them capital to invest which they but primarily invest into bond and morgage markets, smaller portion goes in to stock/equity, and about 10% into derivative instruments to hedge risk. Its all about risk management and actuaries use risk caculations to determine what premiums would need to be for the company to have enough money to be able to cover that risk with the type of returns they are getting. With life insurance, mortality tables are used, which calculate life expectancies and mortality rates over a given period of time. Even though a life insurance payout is usually a windfall for the insured, insurance companies have to maintain a financial position that allows them to remain solvent over time. Term life insurance policy premiums are aslo a huge profit center for these companies since they are pure insurance and 100% of the premiums go towards the cost of insurance. Term is traditional insurance like most other types of insurance policies. Once a term is over the life insurance company pockets that money. That helps with solvency as well. These companies, like banks also have to keep reserves of capital to cover losses as well. Premiums vary depending on risk and thats why not everyone is insurable - they carry to much risk. For example COVID-19 fucked up mortality tables so now life insurance companies are starting to include pandemic clauses to protect themselves. Many companies will not insure you if you have gotten COVID -19 since there is no vaccine for it. If too many people die at once, they may not be able to sustain the losses. Get your damn life insurance while you're young.

Life settlements aren't a great return on your money (for the most part), but something is better than nothing.
