Two questions: 1. What's the best supplement for joint health, as I go up in weight I am feeling more stress on my joints. 2. What workouts do you miss that aren't included in these plans. I used to love chest fly's dumbbell, machine, or cable. Also miss cable rows, hamstring curls, le...

Wrapping up FOTH2 this week, ended up stretching out longer than planned because of crap getting in the way where I couldn't hit 5 days/week. I wouldn't run this one again, I preferred FOTH1 and would run it twice instead of 1 and 2 back to back. I preferred 4 days a week with more intensity than...

I mean you cash it out and you lose money, just like a divorce up to a point. I would have to look, but my guaranteed money without any dividend influence breaks even with my investment at like 17 yrs. At 10 yrs I would get back like 75% of my investment. My policy has never missed a dividend pay...

You really have to do your homework to understand how whole life will work as a part of your personal finance strategy, not just as an investment. My wife and I have exhausted all our tax advantaged investment accounts. As soon as our first kid was born I took out a whole life policy on my wife (b...

Have any of you guys read this white paper? The argument of using whole life as a volatility buffer vs. the "buy term and invest the difference" strategy is compelling. What are your thoughts on this? https://www.liquiditymap.com/assets/integrating-whole-life-insurance-into-a-retirement-income...

Halfway through FOTH 2. This one really wears on me, 5 days a week and pretty much every day takes 90 min w/ warmup. I think I like the 4 days a week programs better with a mid week break. Nutrients question: I'm 40 w/ borderline high cholesterol. Is it healthy to eat like 4-5 eggs for brea...

Man, I did day 1 of FOTH2 last Monday, did day 2 yesterday. Was tied up and couldn't hit the gym. Was amazing how quickly I lost some strength taking about 10 days off from my last back/bi's workout. I was feeling a little sluggish and wasn't hitting all the reps I was doing 10 days before on FOT...

Give me scenarios where whole life/VUL would be a good idea to own

Posted by JL on 3/20/24 at 9:00 am

I've got my 401k, backdoor roth IRA, 529 maxed out. I've got real estate investments and have a separate brokerage account loaded up for my early retirement. Seems like whole/VUL is the next tax advantaged investment I should be making, something I can pass on to my kids. Only other thing I would...

Filling Out the Hoodie 1 complete. I had really good gains in all my triceps exercises (Was doing weighted dips w/ a 45 for the first time yesterday), rear lateral raises, face pulls, and bench. I'm seeing an elbow specialist monday to make sure I don't have a tendon issue on my inner left elbow. ...

W3D4 FOTH completed. Got a pretty good sweat going before I finished the first superset. Added 2 extra sets of squats and DB pullovers. I replaced reverse grip curls with hammer curls (see below) and superset 4X20 yd sled push with concentration curls. Good way to end the week. I'm having ac...
