Welcome to STRATEGIC WHOLE LIFE (formerly The Fifth Edition) by Infinite Banking Authorized Practitioners.In episode 88 of the Strategic Whole Life podcast, we talk about the (mostly bad) advice some people get to max out the loan provision immediately after buying a whole life insurance policy.

Welcome to STRATEGIC WHOLE LIFE (formerly The Fifth Edition) by Infinite Banking Authorized Practitioners.Don't Separate Base Premium and PUA When Buying Whole Life InsuranceIn episode 87, we talk about the risks of looking at base whole life premium and paid up additional life insurance (PUA) as separate considerations during the buying process.Treating base premium as the baseline commitment and PUA as a 'stretch target' can lead to unfulfilled expectations and potential policy underperformance or worse... We highlight the importance of setting a sustainable and comfortable premium level, advising against making PUA a stretch goal. This concern is especially relevant during the early years of a policy, and when the policy is designed for high PUA to base premium ratios.What should you consider instead?

Welcome to STRATEGIC WHOLE LIFE (formerly The Fifth Edition) by Infinite Banking Authorized Practitioners.In this episode, we delve into the concept of whole life insurance dividends. We clear the usual misconception people have about dividends, explaining that insurance dividends are different from stock dividends.Here, we clarify that a whole life insurance dividend is essentially a yield coming from the surplus profit of a mutual based company. However, its calculation is more complex as it doesn't automatically imply specific yield to a policy. We emphasize the significance of the guaranteed values in whole life policies and how dividends add to this value. This discussion also touches upon the philosophy of why one should start with whole life policies and how dividends, which are part of the bigger financial picture, become a bonus.The key takeaway is understanding that insurance dividends come from a well-run, highly-regulated company, and longer you've been with them, the higher your dividend.EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS00:00 Introduction to Whole Life Insurance Dividends00:07 Understanding the Nature of Dividends00:41 How Dividends are Calculated and Distributed01:06 The Role of Surplus Profit in Dividends02:33 The Difference Between Whole Life Dividends and Stock Dividends06:11 The Impact of Dividends on Policy Maturity07:34 Misconceptions About Dividend Rates11:23 The Importance of Guaranteed Values Over Dividends13:42 Comparing Whole Life Dividends to Stock Dividends16:16 The Long-Term Benefits of Whole Life Dividends19:44 Conclusion: The Value of Whole Life Dividends----LINKS:Get in touch: SCHEDULE A CONSULTATIONOnline Course: IBC MASTERY----About Your Hosts:Hosts John Perrings and John Montoya are dedicated to spreading the word about Infinite Banking so you can discover for yourself how you and your loved ones can benefit with a virtual streamlined process that will take you from IBC novice to sharing the strategy with friends and family... even the skeptics!John Montoya is the founder of JLM Wealth Strategies, began his career in financial services in 1998, and is both an Authorized IBC® and Bank on Yourself® professional licensed nationwide.John Perrings started StackedLife Financial Strategies after a 20-year career in the startup world of Silicon Valley, where he specialized in data center real estate, finance, and construction.
