Key Takeaways: \u25e6 Classify correctly: Whole life is an asset, not an expense. \u25e6 Banks vs Insurers: Banks inflate; mutual insurers don\u2019t. \u25e6 Policy loans \u2260 withdrawals: Your cash value keeps compounding while you borrow against it. \u25e6 Owner priority: You outrank every other borrower for your policy\u2019s cash value. \u25e6 Avoid rate-chasing: UL\/IUL\/VUL = non-guaranteed costs and moving parts; IBC prioritizes liquidity, control, and guarantees. \u25e6 Don\u2019t be part of the problem: Think twice about HELOCs\/premium financing\/velocity banking to fund policies.
