You've heard the saying, "Buy Term and invest the difference, right?" Well, in this clip, Tom Hegna explains the BASICS about Whole Life Insurance. When combined with other tax strategies, as well as a Long Term Care Rider which is now a "standard" rider that EVERYONE should add to your policy (if old enough), it becomes an Asset that you can use your WHOLE LIFE.
If you are in your 20's, the concept is compounding. A life insurance policy purchased when young, can do the following:
- Tax Deferred Growth of your money
- Lifetime Insurance Protection
- Guaranteed ability to purchase MORE every few years (without a medical exam)
- Provide a Long Term Care Benefit
- Placed in a trust for "special needs" care of an individual
- Used as a Buy/Sell in the future
- Buy a house and use the cash as a down payment (with repayment to yourself)
- Depending on the product, may also have guaranteed lifetime income (depending on carrier).

What would happen if your business partner died suddenly? You'd be in business with his/her widow. Do you really want to do that?
No. Instead, you want to buy the "cheapest" insurance you can buy at the lowest cost. But many times, you need insurance for 20 or 30 years. In addition, when you pay that premium, it's gone.
What if you could have the same cash flow for a permanent policy as a term insurance policy, have the bank pay your premium, and then in the future, create a stream of income that potential buyout you or your partner in retirement? Wouldn't that be the best of all words? Well you can. You just have to be able to qualify.
