🚨 Universal Life Insurance EXPOSED 🚨

Is Universal Life, Indexed Universal Life, or Variable Universal Life really the powerful wealth tool it's marketed to be? In this episode of the Farming Without the Bank podcast, Mary Jo dives deep into why universal life policies often fail, drawing directly from Nelson Nash's Warehouse of Wealth and decades of real-world experience.

If you've ever been pitched an IUL with "great returns" and "no downside," this episode is a must-watch before you sign anything.

Universal Life was designed as a "better mousetrap," but history shows a very different outcome. From rising costs of insurance to disappearing guarantees, Mary Jo breaks down why most UL, VUL, and IUL policies eventually collapseβ€”often right when people need them most.

Using Nelson Nash's insights and Todd Langford's Truth Concepts analysis, this episode explains how risk is shifted from the insurance company to you, the policyholder.

πŸ”‘ Key Takeaways

Why Universal Life policies often lapse between ages 60–80 How non-guaranteed costs and mortality charges destroy cash value The "double pain" effect during market downturns Why caps, participation rates, and missing dividends matter How UL shifts risk from the insurer to the insured Why Whole Life offers liquidity, control, and guarantees
