100% Tax-Free Retirement Funding
Schedule a free consultation and learn how to protect your retirement from the threat of higher taxes.
Our nation’s current tax rates for high earners are some of the lowest they’ve been in over 100 years. At the same time, our national debt is now larger than our entire economy. Many Americans are examining the interest-rates of their retirement portfolios and turning to tax-free accumulation tools in order to protect their assets. Without them, the impact due to rising taxes, inflation in the economy, and investment risk in the stock market jeopardize the hope for a comfortable retirement.
Life Insurance has changed drastically in the last 25 years! Recent tax code revisions have made specific life insurance policies much more accessible and incentivizing for retirement income. When structured correctly, our indexed life insurance suite of products can protect your savings from stock market crashes, rising taxes and interest rates, and provide a cash-value income stream as a living benefit when needed, all while still providing the original death benefit reserved for your family or estate.
Few people truly understand the corrosive effect of compounding income taxation.
(No, this isn’t a realistic scenario but stay with me here. This is a classic example of how compounding works.)
It’s difficult to comprehend, but by the end of year 20, in a non-realistic scenario, without having to pay federal taxes, you will have saved:
Now take that same one dollar and double it for 20 years – but this time, let’s have the government take just 35% out of each year’s gain as taxation.
How much money do you think will be in the account at the end of the 20-year period?
The answer is:
This is not a misprint.
It is hard to believe, but it is completely true. If you don’t pay attention to how taxation will be affecting you, then be prepared for the worst! You can impute any percentage of annualized gains and/or any tax rate you choose, and you’ll consistently see that taxation is a retirement plan killer.

Most of us simply don’t know what percentage of our income we pay to the Treasury Department each and every year. The highest federal income tax bracket today is 37%. Now add to that the Social Security tax of 7.65% (or 15.31% for the self-employed) and the Medicare tax of 1.45%. Don’t forget state income taxes and state/federal unemployment taxes as well!
This “wonderfully boring” asset also avoids the drama and risk the stock market presents.
While only the first $250,000 of a C.D. is guaranteed by the government, our Indexed Universal Life policies all include a guaranteed provision that neither the initial funding nor any gains the policy realizes can ever be lost.
This is not a new concept, but is one that requires a commitment to funding the policy so that your retirement is adequately funded. Make no mistake – there is no cheap way to pay for an adequate retirement.
But, there is a better way.
