    In this video I will breakdown Term Life Insurance vs. Whole Life Insurance, to give you an idea of which is best for you.
    Life insurance is one of those necessary things in life, because life happens! It's better to have life insurance and not need it, than need it and not have it.
    The fact is, we all eventually need life insurance and this video will hopefully help you decide which is best for you.
    Term life insurance provides coverage for a specific amount of time (usually 20-30 yrs). If you or your spouse passes away during this time, your beneficiaries will receive a payout from the policy.
    Term life is much more affordable than whole life. Typically this works out to be $7 per month in 20 yr term, vs $100 with whole life cash value.
    Term life has no cash value until the death occurs, so it’s not worth anything until you need it, which is fine.
    Whole life is a form of permanent life insurance with 3 components:
    1. Premiums
    2. Death Benefits
    3. Cash Value Accumulation (savings aspect)
    When you pay your premium a portion is applied to the death benefit and cash value.
    The first 5-10 years a majority is applied to the death benefits (cost of insurance) along with fees and commissions.
    After this, the cash value will receive a great portion of the premium
    Beneficiaries are only entitled to receive the death benefit portion of the policy when you die!!
    You have no choice in how the life insurance company applies the premium you pay.
    You can cash in or surrender your policy at any time to get your money out, but you lose the insurance!

      I sell big Whole Life policies to a small segment of the economy. It's a very niche product which adds huge value to people who use it properly. If purchased under false pretenses -or- if used inappropriately, it can easily be a terrible waste of money. It depends on how it's positioned. Transparently: there isn't any vehicle in the US tax code that is efficient for everything. Otherwise, everyone would only use that hypothetical vehicle. Does my rationale make sense?

      Good presentation.
      But let me clear here for general public in layman language that term policy is for specific purpose which vanish every year like for death coverage or hospitalization cost and premium is an expense here not saving, which increase as age grows. This policy usually cover in group insurance by employers for employees. When employee leave job this policy closed.
      While whole life policy is for family financial protection and investment. Its benefits enjoy during life time and on death for example children's higher education or marriage, retirement, hospitalization, buying property, jobless period in addition to family financial protection in case of disease, disability or death. Here premium is constant and is long term saving with good return.
      SO WHOLE LIFE POLICY IS NECESSARY FOR EVERY WISE FAMILY AND FAMILY BUSINESS PERSON.
      Note
      My above explanation is on Pakistan perspective not USA. I suggest all Pakistani Americans to get efu Takaful Plan from Pakistan to enjoy multiple benefits.

      The problem is there's no hidden information with these types of policies you just have to ask. Whole life builds cash value whether you want to use it or not. The biggest value is that it's permanent and it locks in your age and health. If you never touch the cash value your coverage is worth the full value from the day you are approved to the day you die

    I would suggest that a cheap mod to be added to your home's security is putting reflective window film/tint on so that no one can see from the outside.
    As for whole insurance here in South Africa, what makes it attractive is that after being a loyal client there's a percentage cashback bonus paid to the client after say 10-15 years from their premiums. This way you're less likely to terminate your insurance and starting from scratch.

    I was sold a whole life policy post-recession in my late teens. My financial advisor played on fear of the market crashing again, stating "whole life policies can't dip below a 0% return." What she didn't communicate:
    1) The amount of fee's associated with whole life plans + the front loading of my premium going to death benefit instead of the cash value.
    2) The fact that I would be paying interest to borrow my own money. She only mentioned that its "tax free!"
    Early on I realized my cash value was not moving despite the market performing well which prompted me to read through the fine print (hidden on the financial firms website). Once I confronted her about the facts she recommended I seek guidance from another financial advisor. (LOL)
    Lesson learned, thankfully I was only out ~$10k. I cashed out and invested what was left in Vanguard index funds and have enjoyed several double digit return years with near 0 fees. It's sad that these advisors are mooching on the middle class. Thankful for videos like these, educate yourself!

      Correct you got term ,but until when? 20 or 30 yrs. After that your insurance lapsed. When you get older you need insurance because we get sick like stroke, cancer etc. He explained about whole life with fixed interest, Now we have IUL, Indexed universal life. You can maximize it. There is option A and option B. In option A you beneficiary will get the face amount only not the cash value, but in option B your beneficiary will get cash value plus face amount. Not only that. IUL, you dont need to die, if you get sick like Terminal illness, critical, and chronic you can use your insurance. That's what we call life insurance with living benefits. If you want to know more about it ask ne how?

      Rose Dilla yes term ends but depending on the age you can convert to whole life if needed or requalify for another term up to 20-30yrs again at a lower death benefit if you still healthy & still pay way less than the CV. Choosing option B means guess what, higher monthly premium. Why do all that when you can just invest that money yourself & it’s yours & become self insured, granted with discipline & if agents do their job we can help the client reach that goal. Why save for that money to only go back to the insurance company when your family can have both, term insurance also has living benefits also, most of the companies I write for have living benefits on their term critical/chronic illness up to 90% of the death benefit death does not have to be in the picture, terminal illness up to 100%.

The reason for this is that can collect interest from the insurance while the beneficiary is alive. It is never about term vs whole life. It really depends on what client need and want.

      There are a couple problems. First is that it is marketed as an investment product as well as an insurance product. The second, and more important to remember, is that it does a lousy job at both. I was unfortunate to buy into a whole life policy but fortunate enough to get out after eight years. In those eight years, my return was around NEGATIVE 13%. Investing the premiums in a term life policy and the difference in a Roth IRA will do your beneficiaries far more good. Your "financial advisor" loves whole life because the commissions and fees are so lucrative for them and their firm.

    Sold insurance, whole life commissions were nice to sell. There are different life insurance policies that tie into the market to give you a better return. More complex for people to understand so they’re not as popular.
    I myself have a term life policy. And some companies will let you buy another term policy at the same rate. Good stuff though!

      No I completely understand life insurance. But to sell someone an expensive cash value policy when you own term and invest the difference yourself? That should tell you everything you need to know right there. Cash value policies "sound good" and conceptionally make sense, but they are a nightmare contractionally. Clients always end up under insured and over charged! But hey at least the agent made a fat commission instead of doing what is right for the consumer

    • @sanjaygandhi7962
      @sanjaygandhi7962 2 года назад +1

      @@JeremyMcTaggart That's right - whole life insurance is a complete ripoff. You could buy a 25 year term life policy and with the savings compared to whole life insurance invest in an SP500 index fund. For a $500,000 whole life insurance policy on average the insurance company is making $2,500,000 by investing all your premiums over 30 to 40 years before you die. Sure some people will die earlier than average and the insurance company will lose a little but for those that live to average or above average, the insurance company will be only paying out about 20% of what they made by investing the money. Also, with super high premiums with whole life policies if you can't make the monthly payment at any time for example due to losing your job, you will lose the policy.
      Every dollar invested in an SP500 index fund will grow to about $30 after 30 years. Most people don't realize how this makes such an impact. Also, if somehow everyone died early (far less than average life expectancy) and the insurance company did not have enough money to pay out claims, they could just declare bankruptcy.

      while whole life truly does suck, I wouldn't cancel it until your term life policy is fully active because the application process can take a few weeks depending on the company you go with. It's not very likely to happen, but you'd be hating yourself if something (heaven forbid) tragic happened to you or your family.

      Permanent insurance is great product until you have the cash flow and the income to do it. First, make sure that you're contributing to everything that you can where you're going to have tax advantages like maximizing a Roth IRA and if your employer offers matched 401k, max that out and if you have a death benefit need, go with term. Then after all that and you still have cash flow left to invest for the long term and want to grow your tax-deferred and safe dollar segment then you go whole life.

      * The Defra Act of 1984 - (7702) ,
      * & The Tamra Act of 1988 - 101(a)
      .
      These acts; allow one to ACCUMULATE, ACCESS, & TRANSFER their money TAX FREE. 😉🤙🙂
      .
      As ADVANCED MARKET & SOPHISTICATED life insurance agents; we are suppose to help show people, how to Make, Protect and Move their money from UNSAFE places, such as (401k's, 403b's, TSP’s, Pensions, Stocks, Mutual Funds, Cd's, IRA's, Social Security, etc..) Which are all exposed to the volatility risks of the stock market, inflation and Taxes. 😬
      .
      And Help place them Into SAFE places, such as Life Insurance; giving you protection from the stock market & a guaranteed Compounding Interest rate of return on your money! (TAX FREE!!!)😉 with, the 0-3% GUARANTEED MINIMUM as a floor protecting you from financial devastation! (COVID-19)
      .
      So, when the stock market corrects itself again (Crashes) as it does on average, every 7-10 years. (the last one being, the 2008 housing bubble burst.) Your money and assets, along with your family, will all be protected in the event of that crash; due to the Guarantee Protection of the 0-3% as a floor, Preventing you from losing your money!
      .
      LIFE INSURANCE = SAVINGS ACCOUNT?! .
      With banks giving (1%) interest back and inflation being at (3.5%) plus, taxes at (1.5%) = a total of (5%) against your $ By Default, your losing (4%) of your money every year just by having it in the bank!
      .
      HOW MUCH LIFE INSURANCE DO WE NEED?! 🤔😀
      (EXAMPLE): (apply the D.I.M.E. Method in order to help calculate, exactly how much Insurance is needed.)
      .
      Debts (all debts, Credit cards, etc..)

      🔥THE PENSION CRISIS🔥🏦 .
      If you think you can still retire with a pension plan; then, you may just be in for a rude awakening. 👀
      Allow me to share with you why you should begin to rely on yourself & not the government.
      .
      Most Americans are now concerned; that company pension plans & Social Security, will not be adequate in providing them with enough income in their retirement years. Their concerns are warranted; and rightfully, so!
      .
      According to an article on barrons.com; Social Security benefits, will start to exceed the programs cost in 2020, & the program will deplete it’s $2.9 Trillion reserve fund in 2035.
      .
      The reserves will run out a little later than what the trustees of Social Security & Medicare projected last year; however, the bottom line is still the same. The programs deficits appear vast; making it clear, that the public should expect smaller benefits, higher taxes or more than likely, “both!” 😲
      .
      Over the past 40 years, Congress has approved increasingly beneficial retirement options, designed to encourage Americans to save on their own, for their golden years.
      .
      Meanwhile; no congressmen, will dare utter the fact that with mine blowing numbers of TRILLIONS & TRILLIONS of unfunded obligations; such as, Social Security & Medicare, which have now become described by many as a Ponzi scheme, that can never be fixed.
      .
      Congress has covered itself w/ retirement legislation. So, much so, that sometime in the near future; 10 to 20 years from now, when the government system inevitably breaks; congress, The institution will be able to shake it’s finger at the American people, and point the finger back to 401(k)s, IRAs, Roth IRA‘s, & the similar in between of products they have created.
      .
      The message will be, that the benevolent Congress gave the masses a way to save for their own retirement, years ago! 😯😶
      .
      What will not be addressed, is why did the government continue to take 15.3% in PAYROLL TAXES from workers & businesses for a failed system; However, that will be an issue between you & the ballot box.
      .
      The point here is; that to provide for your own retirement is prudent, as it is in all facets of life, to rely on yourself & not the government.

      if you pay $50 bucks a month for a term policy, that means you pay $600/yr.
      $600/yr x 10 years = $6000
      lets say you have a 20 or 30 yr term as suggested buy the man in the video. you pay $18k max to the insurance company to get hundreds of thousands from the insurance company.
      would you exchange $200k for $18k???? then why would the company. Most term insurances pay out less than 30% of the time.

    Thank you, Marko. You made me understand this insurance stuff and now I also understand that term insurance is a better option.

    From where I’m from our whole life plans are limited pay (which means you pay for a limited number of years 10,15,20) and still get covered for life compared to a term in which yes you do choose your term (10,20 years) however it doesn’t cover u for life. In which is akin to renting a house vs buying a house. Now worse case scenario is when ur term plans comes to end (your renewal obviously sky rockets ) and the very worst..is you don’t renew and something happens..
    So i always believe its best to have both to complement each other ...my humble opinion that is. Cheers

      What a horrible example you gave. Whole Life cost at least 20 times more in premiums than term. Plus, when you die, the insurance company KEEPS the cash value that you've been paying in all these years and only pays the death benefit. Sorry, scammer. Try again.

      You are better off financially getting term life for 30 years until about your expected retirement age. Invest the rest (difference in what you would have paid for whole) and by the time the term life expires, you will be "self insured" and will no longer need life insurance.

      Probably smart to get Term life when you hit 40-45 and get a 35 year .. if that’s in the 20-40 dollar range it’s worth every penny.. and now eat whatever you want if you make it past 80 god bless 😂 but then I would also look into a cheap whole life to at least leave something behind
