Most Americans believe retirement planning is about either saving enough to live on or leaving something behind. But what if you could do both, and do it better than Wall Street’s “just invest” advice?
In this episode, we break down why traditional retirement strategies, such as “buy term and invest the rest,” often fail to deliver. Backed by an EY research study, we reveal how combining permanent life insurance (PLI) and deferred income annuities (DIA) creates tax-efficient growth, guaranteed income in retirement, and a lasting legacy.
✔️ Why investment-only retirement plans often fall short
✔️ How life insurance + annuities outperform Wall Street’s advice
✔️ The “sweet spot” formula: up to 30% PLI + 30% DIA
✔️ Why it’s never too late, whether you start at 25, 35, or 45
✔️ How this connects with Infinite Banking principles to build long-term wealth
