Meet Dave
Dave is 40 years old and wants to add a stable, tax-advantaged asset to his retirement plan. He commits to paying $400/month into a high cash value whole life policy, with 70% directed toward Paid-Up Additions (PUAs) and 30% toward the base policy.
Annual Premium: $4,800
Base Policy (30%): Provides permanent life insurance coverage.
PUAs (70%): Supercharges cash value growth and dividends.
Dividend Rate Assumed: 6% (non-guaranteed).
Total Premiums Paid:
$4,800 × 20 years = $96,000
Projected Cash Value (after 20 years):
≈ $160,000 – $180,000 (depending on actual dividend performance).
Death Benefit:
Starts around ~$250,000, grows to $400,000+ by year 20 (due to PUAs and dividend growth).
Liquidity: Dave can access his policy’s cash value (≈$160k+) through tax-advantaged loans if needed in retirement.
Growth: His money grew with stability—protected from market downturns—while also providing life insurance protection.
Legacy: If Dave passes away, his family receives a tax-free death benefit that’s grown over time.
Bond Alternative: Instead of relying on low-yield bonds, he has a flexible, liquid, and tax-advantaged asset.
By consistently funding a high cash value whole life policy with PUAs, Dave turned $96,000 of contributions into:
$160,000+ of accessible cash value
$400,000+ of permanent death benefit
A shield against volatility and a tax-advantaged pool of funds for retirement
