5 Ways to Use Your Life Insurance While You’re Alive

5 Ways to Use Your Life Insurance While You’re Alive
How to finance all of your purchases through you’re own bank

How would you like to use your life insurance while you’re alive? What if you could finance all of your major purchases through your own bank, just as you would with a traditional bank? You can! I’ve put together a list of my top 5 favorite uses of life insurance that you can start using today.

Because of misinformation in the marketplace, most people believe that they should own the cheapest life insurance available. If you follow this advice, you will miss out on life insurance’s most valuable uses. Term insurance provides a death benefit to your heirs, but what about you? If setup correctly, one of the benefits of permanent life insurance is that it allows tax free access to capital while you’re alive. So, if you understand how it works, you are better off owning the most expensive life insurance available. In other words, typically the more you put in, the more benefits you will enjoy.

When you think about it there are 3 to 5 major expenditures that most people make over their lifetimes. So, I thought I would show you how you can take these 5 expenditures and finance them through your life insurance policies. Yes, you may want multiple policies.

1. Automobile Purchases

2. Business Equipment

3. Family Home

4. College Education

5. Funding Retirement

1. Automobile Purchases
Most of us drive and purchase new cars every 4-5 years. Let’s take an automobile that would cost say $30,000 and finance it for 48 months at 6% interest and include an inflation rate of 3% and taxes of 10%. If you traded the cars in, over the course of your lifetime (48 years/12 cars), your adjusted cost after trade and sales tax would be $85,275. However, the lost opportunity costs, had you been able to earn 6% interest on that same money, would be $343,405! What if you could finance all of your automobile purchases through your policy and recapture the costs? You can!

2. Business Equipment
If you plan to start or grow any business venture, you will need access to capital and business equipment. What if you could finance the equipment yourself and/or start your own leasing company without depending on traditional banks? You can! You may also be able to take additional tax benefits when paying interest.

3. Family Home
Assuming your family is growing are you decide to purchase a second home, what if you could finance it through your life policy? You can! All you have to do is capitalize the policy and purchase the home outright through your policy or start paying your traditional mortgage off early using your policy as your own bank.

4. College Education
Without a doubt, funding a child’s college education is one of the main concerns of parents today. While college tuition costs are outpacing inflation, most college savings plans have lost money. What if you could pay for your child’s college and recapture the money to use for your retirement? You can!

5. Funding Retirement
If you ask retirees today what their biggest concern is, most will answer outliving their money. When depending on government programs and a pension, this can be a problem. Maybe that’s why this demographic is one of the largest purchasers of permanent life insurance today. What if you could supplement or fund your retirement completely using your life insurance policy? You can! Having a permanent life policy at retirement allows you to spend your other assets down completely, without the concern of running out of money or leaving your heirs with nothing. And, retirees will appreciate the ability to have access to capital for business ventures and long term care if needed.

So, there you have it, 5 ways to use your life insurance while you’re alive! But, don’t take my word for it, ask any of the hundreds of thousand of Americans who are enjoying the benefits of owning permanent life insurance. The naysayers don't own permanent life insurance and don't know.

You owe to yourself and your family to explore permanent life insurance. You don’t have to get caught up in all the hype of Wall Street, or the misinformation from the media and so called, "financial gurus". And, you don’t have to take unnecessary risks with your money. Life insurance has been around for hundreds of years and has proven to be sound and stable. Maybe that’s why banks own it as their tier 1 capital.

I’d like to recommend a book for you to read, Becoming Your Own Banker by R. Nelson Nash. This book outlines exactly how you can utilize life insurance to finance all of your purchases over your lifetime. If you practice the principles outlined in this book, it will literally change your and your family’s lives forever. You can learn more about the Infinite Banking Concept and purchase the book at http://www.infinitebanking.org/

Free yourself from financial slavery and stop depending on the government and financial institutions. You’ll be glad you did.
