Retirement Life™

                 As I’ve stated in a few different places on this website, a tool that ALL advisors need to know about and use appropriately  in a financial plan for clients (even Fee-Only advisors) is a “good” cash value life policy (what I call Retirement Life™.

                 Why Retirement Life™? Because they can have the following characteristics:

                 –100% principal protection (money never goes backwards due to negative returns).

                –Positive gains in a stock index are locked in every year (minus dividends).

                -A free long-term care benefit

                –Money grows tax-free

                –Money comes out tax-free

                A good Retirement Life™ policy over the last 20 years would have generated a tax-free rate of return of 7.44%.

                FYI, Retirement Life™ policies  pay some form of a commission to the advisors using them.

                Because Fee-Only advisors who have sworn a cult-like oath to never making a commission, in 20 years I’ve never seen one recommend Retirement Life™ to a client (and I can count on one hand the number of Fee-Only advisors who know anything about Retirement Life™).            

                It really defies logic that any advisor should refuse to learn about and use a protective wealth-building tool with the above-listed characteristics. This is the reason I decided to create this website (to put consumers on notice of the limitations and biases of Fee-Only advisors).
