Dividend Paying Whole Life Insurance Policy – Page 13

2020 May BankNotes

The latest report on new unemployment claims was abysmal, coming in at 4.4
million last week, some 100,000 more than surveyed economists had expected.
The continuous claims came in at just under 16 million, an all-time record.
Mainstream labor economists estimate that, all things considered, the actual
unemployment rate now (which is only officially reported with a lag) is above
20 percent—a rate not seen since the darkest days of the Great Depression.
Indeed, all of the job gains since the Great Recession have been wiped out in
just a matter of weeks.

Blog 65 – Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Paid-Up Additions – Part 4

The most common dividend options for dividend-paying whole life policies are paid-up additions, paid in cash, reduce premium, and accumulate at interest.

Of the four options, paid-up additions will produce the most amount of cash value and will also increase the amount of death benefit. The reason is that you purchase paid-up additions which earn dividends which then purchase more paid-up additions resulting in a compounding effect or exponential growth in the amount of cash value as well as in the amount of death benefit.

“This is R. Nelson Nash” in His Own Words
The following was put together in January 2018 by R. Nelson Nash for the

beliefs—a mindset—some call it a worldview—that controls human action
and gives life meaning and purpose.

A flexible paid-up additions rider allows the policy owner to increase or decrease the contributions to the paid-up additions rider within a range specified at policy issue. The policy owner is free to make these adjustments at any time during any payment period of the policy.
The level paid-up additions rider does not provide the same flexibility to adjust the premium going towards it. The level paid-up additions rider assumes that the policy owner will pay the same amount year-over-year towards the rider. If the policy owner reduces the premium going to this rider, that reduction can become permanent.

Norman Vincent Peale’s Timeless Advice: Take Charge of Your Own Life, First

Dr. Norman Vincent Peale’s ideas are especially important today, when envy
and jealousy seem to permeate much of our politics.

by Lawrence W. Read

The more jealousy one has in his nature, the more critical he is of those who have accomplished things. If you are critical and mouthing negativisms it could be that your own failures are caused by a mixed-up, hate filled mind.

Blog 62 – Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Paid-Up Additions – Part 1

In this blog we are going to concentrate in the definition of paid-up additions and in future blogs we will be going deeper into the types of paid-up additions riders and how to use them to maximize the cash values of your whole life policies.

Paid-up additions are mini paid-up whole life policies that attach to your base whole life policy. They have a death benefit and a cash value and as its name implies, they require just one single premium payment and they are forever paid-up. In other words, you keep the death benefit of the paid-up additions and its cash value without ever paying any additional premiums.

2019 November Lara-Murphy Report

Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren has been throwing out so many ludicrous campaign promises that she makes Andrew Yang—the guy literally trying to send everyone a monthly check from Uncle Sam—look reasonable in comparison. Recently, in order to explain how she’d pay for her $52 trillion (over ten years) “Medicare for All” program, Warren doubled her proposed wealth tax on billionaires, from the original 3% now up to 6%.

To repeat, this is an annual tax on wealth, not on income.

2019 October Lara-Murphy Report

Just when you think that you have learned all of the possible strategies associated with Nelson Nash’s Infinite Banking Concept (IBC), up pops a brand new one.
