Ep 098: Bill Black: Life Insurance Trends - Are Your Affairs In Order?


Listen Later

In this episode, The Annuity Man and Bill Black discuss:

  • The predictability of death
  • Long-term care rider
  • Beating life insurance with investing
  • Being wary of "tax-free income"

Key Takeaways:

  • Death is predictably imminent. We'll never know when we'll pass or if we'll be needing long-term care somewhere along with our life. That's why it's best to get a life insurance policy with a long-term care benefit rider.
  • Getting standalone long-term care is not as good as getting it as a rider for an insurance policy. As a rider, the 1%, 2%, or 3% benefit can be turned on or off as needed, which means you've got a lot of choice in the matter and that the money won't disappear in case you don't get to use it.
  • If you want to beat life insurance with investing, you'd need to earn 10% of your money every year for the next 30 years. If you can do that, you should be running a hedge fund.
  • When looking at high cash value policies, don't fall for "tax-free income"; it's actually a loan.

"There are no silver bullets - there's nothing out there that's always the right answer, or never the right answer." — Bill Black.
