How is Axa's Variable Universal Life Insurance? How is Axa's Variable Universal Life Insurance? Anyone have the policy? what do you think?
Should I invest in a Roth IRa or Variable Universal Life Insurance Policy? I have a 401k/ Not married, no children, but my advisor says it is wise to invest in a variable universal life policy while I am young (the premiums are lower) so it builds cash value to aid in retirement plus I will have the death benefit for later on when I am married and have kids. Susie Orman thinks this is a bad idea and that 401ks and Roth IRAs are the way to go. Other people think differently. I am confused on what to do and wonder if people who have actually signed up for a Variable Universal Life policy have actually seen the cash value results when they have retired. My illustration shows about $600,000 cash value when I am 70- that is with a 12% return. I am wondering if I should go with this policy or use the $200/month it would cost to fund this and invest it in a Roth IRA instead or put more towards my 401k. Any serious advice would help!
which one is good. Universal life insurance or variable universal life? I have variable universal from metlife for 7 months. Can I change it to universal life or not?
What is better for me to get, Group Universal Life Insurance, or Group Variable Universal Life Insurance? ? I am having trouble figuring out the advantages vs. disadvantages of each.

Is Variable Universal Life Insurance right for us? My wife and I recently started variable universal life insurance policies. We are paying about $600 a month toward the policy on top of what we are each contributing to our 401k plans. We are both under 30 yrs. old, and are trying to get a good start on our retirement. Should we be investing in IRA's or something else instead? We both supported ourselves before we got married, so do we even need life insurance right now since we don't have children yet? Our advisor works for New York Life, and he's telling us that the variable universal policy is the best first step. I feel like he is just trying to maximize his commision instead of doing what's best for us. I know, we shouldn't have gone to an insurance salesman, but he was recommended by a close friend. What should we do? Combined, we make $85,000/yr. I contribute 6% to my 401k, and my wife contributes 1%. We are homeowners, not renters. Other that that, we don't have any other investments.

Does it make sense to have a universal variable life insurance policy inside an irrevocable insurance trust? I thought advantage to irrevocable trust was to pass money tax free upon death. What advantage does the investment side of vul insurance provide?
Should we switch our variable universal life insurance policy to a guaranteed universal life policy? My husband and I each have variable univeral policies...our agent is suggesting we change over to guaranteed universal policies - we will save a few hundred dollars a year and add 100k onto the benefit. My husbands policy was bought in 1999, mine in 2001. We were not using the existing policies as an investment. Does it make sense to change now? (we are in our early 40's) The agent suggested that in the future insurance costs may rise, and we may not be able to afford the current policy- but the new policy rates are guaranteed to never increase. Any thoughts or advise?
I'm debating on if I should keep my variable universal life insurance policy? I'm 31 years old, and I pay $100 a month for a $250,000 death benefit payout.

Do I have to pay taxes on a Variable Universal Life policy when surrendered? I am surrendering my Variable Universal Life Insurance policy and need to know if I will be taxed on the money I receive. The surrender form has a place to choose how much in taxes to withhold but I am not sure what to put or if I am even taxed on this money (it is a generic surrender form for all kinds of accounts/policies).
Variable Universal Life Insurance (VUL)? I am 19 and met with a financial adviser to try and start on a retirement plan. He strongly recommended that i go with a VUL. He wants me to invest $10,000 up front and then make monthly deposits. I did some research on it but im skeptical. Is this a good retirement/life insurance plan? Or should i go with a 401k or another option?
Variable Universal Life Insurance Vs. Mutual Fund? what are the benefits and draw-backs for those? which is better?
Life Insurance: Variable Life vs Whole Life, which one is really better? Is Whole Life premium more money than Variable Universal Life? I asked for a Whole Life insurance quote from one of the big insurance companies around, instead the agent tries to convince me that I should go with Variable Universal Life. He said Whole Life premium is always higher than Variable Life. He generated a printout for Variable Universal Life but not for Whole Life. I just want my premium to remain fixed in my old age and dont want the death benefit to fluctuate hence I prefer Whole Life. He stated that the death benefit is guaranteed for VUL. Is it really? I have a feeling it's not and that the premium for VUL will increase in my old age since it's dependent on my market investment. I'm beginning to think that his commission for selling Variable Life is more than selling Whole Life. I'm 37 female, non-smoker, in good health. I dont believe Whole Life premium would be that much higher than VUL. Any input is appreciated.

I understand variable life insurance has a range of minimum to maximum coverages for a given premium, is it the same with universal life?please explain in details how the entire process works.
How difficult is it to cancel a Universal Life Insurance policy? My husband and I bought Variable Universal Life Insurance through a major insurance company 9 years ago. The actual insurance value on each of us (separate) is $200,000 each. We pay each $100 per month toward the insurance plus the variable part. Each account is worth about $11,000 after the surrender charges (which are down to less than $200 each). Is it worth it to cash these out now and invest this money on our own? We don't need the money right away, and would just put it in a CD until we decide temporarily. Is it difficult to cash these in? (meaning do they make it hard on purpose?) Would the only penalty be the cash surrender charge, and forfeiting the insurance? What is the procedure? This is a major national company, but we now live in a different state. We are planning on buying a $500,000 term policy for me, and $1,000,000 policy for him for half of what we pay now. We have 4 children under age 7. On our statements which we receive each quarter, there is a Cash Value after the Surrender Charge. Is that the actual amount we would get back, there are no other hidden fees? We do not need to sign any paperwork in person?
Can I sue my insurance company? They sold me whole life now have said it is variable universal life? ..they say I have no cash value and I have been paying for over 20 years. Can I sue them?

Term Life Insurances-Insurance Law? Hi I was wondering if you would be able to look at a brief summary of my family situation and give me some suggestions.I want to get insurance but can u recomment some changes in what I presently have. I thank you. I am married and have 3 childern (ages 9, 12, and 16) I just bought a waterfront home which is valued at 500,000 with a 300,000 mortgage. My jewrely is about 10,000. We have 3 cars a 2004 BMW, a 2002 Lexus and 1997 Jeep Wrangler. My husband works at a large manufacturing firm and earns about 125 K. I run a day care center from my home and earn about 45K. I don't have any employees. My kids all go to private school - which costs me about 25 a year. We honestly have no savings or investments and almost no discretionary income at the end of the month. ( which is a main reason I am writing this!) I met with a financial planner and they suggested on purchasing a 50,000 variable life policy for each of us as an investement.

Term life insurance and Cash value life insurance? Hello I've been reading a book named "Starting a Small Business for Dummies" In this book the author made a comment as follows "Term life insurance offers the best way needed coverage at the lowest cost and wrote "other policies such as universal, whole and variable life are collectively refferred to as cash value policies" and says that the cash value life insurance is the bad option because it cost eight times what a term life insurance costs and in the early years the bulk of that money goes to pay insurance agents and adminstrative costs" my question is ---is that really true and later in one of the chapters-the authors goes on and talks about different options of finding money for the start-up costs of the business--- one the option it mentions is the life insurance it says the following-" if you own a life insurance policies with a cash value, you probably shouldn't because term life insurance is a better deal- it says that if you have a term life insurance, then consider cashing in such policies and putting that money for the start-up costs for your proposed business. " the confusion that is arising is how can you can cash in such policies-how can you cash these policies when you aren't dead, because according to the information that I've gathered so far about life insurance is that the money from these insurance policies goes only to the beneficiries after that person dies..so does this really make any sense.... Thanks
Workable Business Opportunity? Variable Universal Life Insurance Policies (VUL) makes up over 20 percent of the Life Insurance Market. There are so many negatives to VULs. 1) Charges a ridiculously high fee every month. 2) Carries a huge surrender charge if you can't afford to maintain the policy or decides to exit the policy. 3) Average performance of about 8 percent a year. I find it is so much better to buy term life insurance for a one time fee and investing that difference somewhere else. Would you think it's great if we can convince ppl with VUL to exit their policy and switch to buying term life insurance and have us manage the money leftover? Would that be a great way to find clients or investors?
Isn't all cash value policies are term insurance? Whether its whole life, universal life, or variable life, when you pay your premiums, your premiums are being paid for two things: 1) Term insurance and 2) Cash value. At the beginning, most of your premiums are paid toward the cash value. As you get older, term insurance gets more expensive, so less of your premiums goes toward the cash value. So the notion that says cash value life insurance isn't Term insurance is not true. Both provide coverage to age 95 or 100. But cash value policies has term insurance premiums that goes up every year, even though premiums as a whole may remain level. But buying term insurance by itself remains level for awhile and only go up when you renew it. If that's now how cash value work, then what do you make of it?

VUL & College Savings Plan? A Financial services guy is recommending I cancel my existing Term Life Insurance and instead put money into a Variable Universal Life Insurance Policy. He also said I should cancel my State 529 plans and put that money into the same VUL. He said you can withdraw or borrow money from a VUL. I told him I don't really understand what he is proposing. He is only recommending a 100,000 policy, but I am still confused as to why one would use a VUL for saving for your kid's college?
Is there a charge if I were to cancel this ? I have a Variable Universal Life insurance by Western Reserve Life. I have had this for about 9 months and absolutely don't like what I hear about it now. I want to cancel it but do not know if I will get charged. Also, I know clients are allowed to borrow money from their cash value, which will decrease the death benefit... would I be able to borrow money.. as much as i could, and not pay them back,... then cancel it? so at least I get some money back. I know that if I were to cancel it, I would not get any of my money back. thanks ..

LIFE insurance questions... HELP!? My husband and I are wanting to get life insurance on my father n' law. He isn't over the age of 80. He has a few minor health conditions, but nothing serious. Never smoked, but "chews". We are wanting a $20,000.00 policy, just enough to fully cover funeral expenses, with a bit extra for whichever else may need to be paid off. I have no clue how to start the process. It asks me for universal, variable, etc different kinds of health insurance. What would be what I'm looking for? Any good companies with reasonable rates? Will he have to be medically examined? Any different information anyone could provide us with would be greatly appreciated. Thank You in advance.

Retirement Plan Options? I'm looking for additional retirement plan options and was wondering what else is available to us middle income earners? I participate in my firm's 401K. I have a Traditional IRA and contribute to it. I have a Roth IRA (recently opened to receive an old 401K via the 2010 Conversion). My wife has a Traditional IRA (spousal IRA which I fund on her behalf). We have a joint mutual fund account. I am aware of three types of annuities (immediate, variable, and fixed). I am aware of universal and whole life insurances (as part of a retirement portfolio). Have I left out any insurances? What else is out there that I should consider and research? I'm 44, I plan to fully retire at age 62 ~ 64 depending on the overall financial environment. I plan to sign up for Social Security benefits (at age 62) but will delay taking any payments for myself until age 70, although my wife (at age 63) will begin collecting benefits based on my earnings. I'd appreciate any ideas for me to consider and research. Thank you. Thanks so far for your inputs - we have zero children and only ourselves to rely upon. Thanks, keep 'em coming! We rent our apartment and do not own any real property (house, land, etc.). We don't foresee owning any real property as we will be living in another country and not the USA. I max out my 401K with $16,500. I max out my TIRA with $5,000. I max out my wife's Spousal TIRA with $5,000. I set aside $12,000 per year into our joint MF account. And I put aside about $18,000 into our emergency fund for rent and house bills for one year. I need ideas on what else to invest our money. Thanks. I already have a Term Life insurance policy to cover me in case I die. I brought up the Life Insurances because certain ones can be used as an investment vehicle ONLY; the "insurance" part of it I'm not concerned with because my Term insurance is the REAL insurance my wife will rely upon when I die. I'm retired US Air Force so I'll have an income, and medical insurance for life (regardless of the politics, even if I have to pay something for it). The reason I want my wife to begin receiving SS bennies based on my earnings is because she is a Homemaker and doesn't have enough "work credits" to receive SS in her own right. Plus, we can begin investing that income into our MF account. Thanks for the Boost Harry, I appreciate it. My income isn't huge but I manage it well enough to ensure I can set aside money intended for our future. I want to educate myself on what all the options are for us so I'll be better prepared for the future. My mathematical models project our total investment balances to be between $800K and $1.7M in CY 2030. I based my model on Future Value, 6% per year; if we "earn" more great but I figured this modest return was realistic to use for our model.

Should I invest in a Roth IRa or Variable Universal Life Insurance Policy? I have a 401k/ Not married, no children, but my advisor says it is wise to invest in a variable universal life policy while I am young (the premiums are lower) so it builds cash value to aid in retirement plus I will have the death benefit for later on when I am married and have kids. Susie Orman thinks this is a bad idea and that 401ks and Roth IRAs are the way to go. Other people think differently. I am confused on what to do and wonder if people who have actually signed up for a Variable Universal Life policy have actually seen the cash value results when they have retired. My illustration shows about $600,000 cash value when I am 70- that is with a 12% return. I am wondering if I should go with this policy or use the $200/month it would cost to fund this and invest it in a Roth IRA instead or put more towards my 401k. Any serious advice would help!

Life Insurance: Variable Life vs Whole Life, which one is really better? Is Whole Life premium more money than Variable Universal Life? I asked for a Whole Life insurance quote from one of the big insurance companies around, instead the agent tries to convince me that I should go with Variable Universal Life. He said Whole Life premium is always higher than Variable Life. He generated a printout for Variable Universal Life but not for Whole Life. I just want my premium to remain fixed in my old age and dont want the death benefit to fluctuate hence I prefer Whole Life. He stated that the death benefit is guaranteed for VUL. Is it really? I have a feeling it's not and that the premium for VUL will increase in my old age since it's dependent on my market investment. I'm beginning to think that his commission for selling Variable Life is more than selling Whole Life. I'm 37 female, non-smoker, in good health. I dont believe Whole Life premium would be that much higher than VUL. Any input is appreciated.
