Assuming accurate dividend projections, which of course they never are.

Someone needs to give a break down of Term vs. Whole Life for this crowd.

I know whole life has a cash value after a certain point that can be borrowed against or be counted as an asset?

Term is a strict term limit, premium payment. No cash value.

A very well off doctor.

He is making more money than he knows what to do with (obviously).

He built a 1.3 million dollar home complete with a $30,000 secret door.

Wife and I each have $500k Term...no kids.

Agent keeps wanting us to switch it to a whole policy, but I'm not stupid.

why anyone would have this much insurance without kids is beyond me, unless work subsidizes it.

I have like 500k for me, and 250k for the wife but work pays for most of it.

If you don't have kids, you are way better off investing your premiums.

Im a stockbroker but know a little bit about it. Sounds like Garcia is a life insurance agent and can give you the details.

Jerry Glanville, former coach of Houston Oilers and Atlanta Falcons.* He said he did not have any life insurance, cause when he died, he wanted his wife and kids to say how much they missed him -really missed him, and* he knew they would mean it.


He was a colorful character.

A few things

#1 We have ~$150k in student loan debt
#2 We have ~$180k in outstanding mortgage and other debts.

Should I go this afternoon, that leaves her with $170k...which isn't really that much.

I sell it all amigo.

Term- for short term needs (debt)
least amount of money for the most coverage
if your term runs out, you will (most likely be renewed) bat a much higher premium
recommended if you are youn with debt and/or beginning a family

Whole- generally like 3 or 4 times higher than term
guaranteed DB (death benefit-when you die, you people get paid. Unlike term, where if the term of 10-30 years is up and you survive, your money is wasted)
Normally get paid much more than you put in.

how much are people paying /mo for the million and up policies? i have no clue what life insurance goes for

That is totally dependent on your age, health, what kind of insurance (term, WL, UL).

And if he doesn't die he is out $200,000? Or is some portion of that vested at 15 years?








No. The DB (death benefit) is guaranteed. We could write the policy today, and he could die tomorrow. His family would get it all...tax free.
$750,000.

Seems like term to me is the way to go. I have employer sponsored. I'm not seeing the down side here.

$15 a month for $600K.

Scared it was going to lapse and you'd have to repay the commission?
