Longevity Risk. Will You Have Enough Money to Enjoy Your Retirement?

Longevity Risk! Will You Have Enough Money to Enjoy Your Retirement? 

https://youtu.be/lPKYgPuDQnA

Longevity risk. If you retire in your 60s or 70s, your money has to last you 30 years or more. Many people run out of money 7 to 10 years into retirement.

  • Withdraw too much money in the early years of retirement
  • Heavy taxation of retirement plans were not considered
  • Risky investments caused big stock market losses.
  • Did not save enough

Tax-Free Solution

There is a little known IRS approved strategy that the wealthiest top 10% of American Families, including the top 1% have been using for more than 20 years to cut taxes and preserve capital. The Strategy works. The Tax-Free IUL can produce a Tax-Free Income You Won’t Outlive! The strategy has also been known to double, even triple after tax income compared to a 401(k) or 403(b) retirement plan. It has been called the Tax-Free Pension Alternative.

If you can double even triple your after-tax income, your money will last longer.  Going with a tax-free retirement plan also insulates you from future tax hikes.  A Zero taxed tax-free plan is better than a heavily taxed qualified plan, such as an IRA, 401(k) or 403(b) retirement plan.

I failed to mention, the Tax-Free IUL has no down side risk.  You don’t lose money when the markets go down. Annual gains are locked in, so you never give back interest previously earned.  You share in market upside, up to an annual cap rate.  Current caps are 13% to 16% depending on the index you choose.

Your withdrawals are tax-free penalty free at any age for any reason.  Withdrawals from your qualified plans are heavily taxed and subject to early withdrawal penalties of 10% if you are under age 59 1/2.

Tax-Free IUL vs. 401(k)…a 15 year look back of the S&P 500.

Tax-Free IUL vs 401(k) a 15 year Look Back
Tax-Free IUL vs 401(k) a 15 year Look Back

A 15 Year Look Back: $100,000 Initial Investment S&P 500 Index vs. Tax-Free IUL Indexed to S&P 500 With 14% Cap and 0% Floor.

Bottom Line after 15 years $8,300 Taxable 401(k) income vs. $23,000 Tax-Free Income in the IUL.

$150,000 Taxable 401(k) Assets vs. $254,000 Tax-Free Assets in the Tax-Free IUL.

During this 15 year look back, the Tax-Free IUL produced more than 4.5 times more after tax income than the 401(k).

Video shows how the tax-free IUL works. No Stock Market Losses, so no downside risk. Gains are locked in annually, so you never give back profits already earned.   Share in market upside up to a 14% cap.  Current IUL caps are 13% to 16% depending on the index chosen.

So, if you hate paying taxes and hate even more losing money in the stock market, pay close attention.

  • If you are worried you won’t have enough money to enjoy your retirement, this strategy will help you generate a tax-free income you won’t outlive.
  • If you are rolling over money in CDs because you fear stock market losses, with this tax- free retirement strategy, you don’t lose money when the markets go down.
  • If you have not put enough money away for retirement and need a catch up strategy, this strategy could work for you.
  • When you recognize the tax-free retirement plan can generate 3 to 4 times more income after taxes than a 401(k) or 403(b) retirement plan, you’ll want to replace your retirement plan with the tax-free retirement plan.
  • If you want to implement a gifting strategy for your children or grandchildren, the tax- free IUL is a vehicle that can keep on giving with a lifetime of tax-free income.
  • If you like the idea of having a tax-free emergency fund to tap as needed, the tax-free retirement plan is for you.
  • If you would like to be your own bank, funding big ticket items with retirement funds, paying interest to yourself rather than a bank, this could work for you.

Tax-Free Pension Alternative Save’s Robert’s Retirement

Tax-Free Pension Alternative Save’s Robert’s Retirement

Robert had no retirement savings. The Future looked bleak. Then Robert discovered The Tax-Free Pension Alternative, also known as living benefit life insurance or the Tax-Free IUL.

https://youtu.be/D-p-ehGl9oM

A client called the Tax-Free IUL spectacular, a game changer! No downside risk. Tax-free income for life and a reasonable rate of return. He called it “The 401(k) Replacement!” Robert age 51 agreed. He’ll retire at age 71 with $57,000 in tax-free income for life based on the historical rate of return.

Robert achieves this by saving $1,000 a month in his tax-free pension alternative, his tax-free IUL and earning the historical rate of return of 8.11%.  Now, Robert can access this living benefit life insurance along the way via tax-free policy loans, to fund large purchases or handle emergencies.  If he does not repay these policy loans, his projected $57,000 a year in tax-free income will be reduced.  He has the choice of paying off the loans during his lifetime or out of the death benefit.

Rather than applying for a loan and paying interest to a bank, you can borrow against your tax-free pension alternative and pay yourself interest.  No credit checks required.  Ask me about this.

David’s Retirement Rescue Story: The Tax-Free Pension Alternative

 The Tax-Free Pension Alternative can be used as a Retirement Plan Rescue Strategy for Those Facing a Retirement Shortfall.

https://youtu.be/3SqVt8iye28

David did not put enough away for retirement and was facing a retirement short-fall. The Tax-Free Pension Alternative, also known as living benefit life insurance or the Tax-Free IUL provided a rescue strategy to provide a tax-free retirement income David won’t outlive.

You can use this as a catch up solution if you have not put enough away for retirement.  Qualified plans (IRAs, 401(k)s 403(b)s) have annual contribution limitations- see chart. There are no such limitations with the tax-free retirement plans.  You can set up a tax-free IUL or tax-free pension alternative where you contribute $100,000 a year for 3 to 5 years or longer, so long as the insurance company will accept the amount you want to contribute.
