Today’s episode is part 1 of David’s interview with Power of Zero co-founder Larry DeLegge.
The two talk about value life insurance policies, children, and whether life insurance can serve as a viable volatility shield in retirement.
David shares his thoughts regarding the “IUL vs. whole life insurance policy” debate.
For David, starting a life insurance policy is like getting married – he explains why.
When it comes to life insurance policies, there are two key things David looks at.
The first one is safe and productive growth, the second thing is a guaranteed 0% loan.
David touches upon the 4% rule and the so-called volatility buffer.
“The problem with the 4% rule is that it’s a pretty expensive way to go about saving for retirement,” says David.
A recent Ernst & Young study looked at whether there is any reliable way to get an 8% distribution rate.
David cites a study that said that bonds are much more correlated to the stock market than we previously thought and are much more volatile than previously thought..
David discusses precautions to take with the LIRP for your children to avoid unpleasant surprises.
