Key Takeaways: ◦ Classify correctly: Whole life is an asset, not an expense. ◦ Banks vs Insurers: Banks inflate; mutual insurers don’t. ◦ Policy loans ≠ withdrawals: Your cash value keeps compounding while you borrow against it. ◦ Owner priority: You outrank every other borrower for your policy’s cash value. ◦ Avoid rate-chasing: UL/IUL/VUL = non-guaranteed costs and moving parts; IBC prioritizes liquidity, control, and guarantees. ◦ Don’t be part of the problem: Think twice about HELOCs/premium financing/velocity banking to fund policies.
