Ep #067: Understanding How Life Insurance Works: Term Vs Whole Life
Manage episode 407119230 series 3557963
Financial planning can be boiled down to offensive and defensive strategies. Offensive planning focuses on proactive wealth growth, such as 401k contributions, emergency funds, and reinvesting profits. In contrast, our primary focus, defensive planning, involves safeguarding your wealth, family, and business against unforeseen circumstances through various insurance policies and legal preparations.
We spotlight the importance of life insurance as a foundational element of defensive planning, offering a detailed overview of how life insurance works, its key players, and the distinct types available, namely Term and Whole Life insurance. Each insurance type serves unique purposes, from providing temporary coverage (Term) to offering a lifelong safety net with a cash value component (Whole Life).
Further, we navigate the intricate process of obtaining life insurance, emphasizing the role of personal health, family medical history, and lifestyle choices in determining policy costs. This discussion aims to equip listeners with the knowledge to make informed decisions about life insurance, ensuring protection for their families and businesses.
Highlighting the potential conflicts of interest in the insurance industry, we advocate for consulting fee-only advisors for unbiased insurance advice, underscoring our commitment to objective financial guidance free from commission-based biases.
Tune in to learn defensive strategies, understand the ins and outs of life insurance, and learn how to secure your family's and business's future.
