For the last two decades, the typical equity fund investor only beat inflation by a measly 1% per year.

The top-performing mutual fund of the last decade had an 18% annual return.
So, what would you guess was the annual return of the typical investor in that fund?

So what is theBank On Yourself
Method?
A turbo-charged variation of a financial asset that has increased in value –
During EVERY market crash …
In EVERY period of boom AND bust …
For more than 160 years:
Dividend-paying whole life insurance
So What is theBank On Yourself Method?
NOT the kind of whole life insurance most advisors and experts talk about
You don’t have to die to “win”
You’re Kidding, Right?
Dividend-Paying Whole Life Insurance?
Although most financial “gurus” tell you to avoid cash value insurance,
a properly designed Bank On Yourself-type policy will …
Dividend-Paying Whole Life Insurance
beat the pants off your best saving or investing method!
A dividend-paying whole life policy
Customized with added features most advisors and experts don’t know about or understand
A rider that significantly turbo charges the growth of your money, especially in the early years
An advisor willing to give up 50-70% of his or her commission.

How is a Bank On Yourself-type policy different from the policies Suze Orman, Dave Ramsey, and other financial “gurus” grouse
about?
Whole Life Polices Dave & Suze Love To Hate
Bank On Yourself-Type Dividend-Paying
Whole Life Policies
No cash value in early years
Special feature gives you up to 40 times more cash value
Death benefit stays level for the life of the policy
Both your death benefit and cash value grow at a steeper pace – every year
Company only pays the death benefit
Policy can pay a sum equal to original death benefit PLUS the current cash value PLUS even more

Term Insurance: You rent it, like you rent an apartment
Whole-Life Insurance: You own it, like you own your home
Buy Term and Invest the Difference?
Nothing to show unless you die during the term. (Penn State University reports that 99% of term policies never pay a claim.)
No inflation protection. (After 20 years of 4% inflation, it’s worth less than half its original value.)
If your health deteriorates and you want to renew … good luck. (It’ll cost you more … if you even qualify to renew.)
Term Insurance
You build equity at a guaranteed, predictable rateUse your equity however and whenever you wantNo applying or begging to get your money – you
can’t be turned down for a loan!Pay back your loans on your terms In an emergency you can reduce or skip some
payments – no black marks on your credit report, and no collection calls!
Guarantees based on the claims-paying ability of the insurer. Policy loans accrue interest, and they lower policy values until repaid. Excess loans may terminate a policy with tax consequences

What’s the lowest minimum annual return you would accept to be willing to endure the roller-coaster ups and downs of the market?
How many of you would do it for a 3% annual return?
Would you do it for 5% per year?
How about 7% per year?
How many would demand 10% per year?
When Do You Think the Dow Will Hit 27,000?
If you wouldn’t ride that roller coaster unless you could be sure of getting a 5% annual return, then the Dow needs to be higher than 27,000 – today – just to get you even with where you were 12 years ago (after adjusting for inflation)!

Let’s Look at the WaysWe Make Major Purchases
If you finance a car, what do you have to show for your money after your loan is paid off?
If you lease the car, what do you have to show for it when the lease is up?
If you save up for it in a savings account, when you pull your money out to pay cash, how much are you now earning on your money?
59
Let’s Look at the WaysWe Make Major Purchases
You either pay interest when you finance or lease things
Or you lose interest and investment income you could have had if you kept the money invested instead
60
Financing, leasing and paying cash are all losing scenarios, because …
If you save your money in a Bank On Yourself-type policy You can borrow it to pay cash for a
car – or anything else
And the money in your plan will continue growing as though you never touched a dime of it!
61
However …
62
How Is That Possible?!?
When you take a policy loan, you are borrowing against the cash value and using the death benefit as collateral for the loan
If you die with a loan outstanding, they would simply deduct it from your death benefit
63
How Is That Possible?!?
Dividends are calculated based on your policy’s death benefit, not its cash value
The companies we use pay the same dividend regardless of any loans
This feature allows you to use your money in the policy and still have it working for you
64
Excess loans can terminate a policy. A policy that lapses or is surrendered can potentially result in tax consequences. Dividends, though not guaranteed, have been consistently paid for 100+ years by some companies.
How Is That Possible?!?
I’ve used the Bank On Yourself method for the
past eleven years to recapture what I pay for
my cars, as a ready source of capital for my business, and to help finance a real
estate investment. It’s safe, proven and should be part of any financial foundation.

Most baby boomers know they won’t be able to retire when they had planned. So they try to convince themselves that retirement is overrated. They talk about continuing to work as long as they can.

They don’t realize that about four in ten retirees were forced out of work earlier than they had planned because of layoffs, poor health or the need to take care of a loved one.

The Disturbing Truth About 401(k)s
There is a tax-time bomb hidden in your 401(k), because one of its big appeals is that it lets you defer you taxes.
But what happens if tax rates go up over the long term?
Do you think they might?
The Disturbing Truth About 401(k)s
And what happens if you are actually successful in growing your account?
You’re going to pay higher taxes on a bigger number!
The reality is that when you factor in fees, inflation and deferred taxes you will owe, your 401(k) will probably have to deliver an average annual return of 8% to 10% – just to break even with what you paid into it!

The companies we use for these policies are among the financially strongest life insurance groups in the world
They aren’t owned by stockholders, which lets them focus on the long-term best interests of policy owners, rather than the short-term demands of Wall Street
Paid dividends every year for at least 100 years, including during the Great Depression

How Safe Is Your Money in a Bank On Yourself policy?
Life insurance companies are audited regularly to ensure they maintain sufficient reserves to pay future claims
If a company gets into financial difficulty, the state insurance commissioner’s office can step in and take over and run the company in the interest of policy holders – usually a failed insurer’s business is then taken over by another life insurance company
