This document promotes an "anti-tax money strategy" using equity index life insurance policies. It claims these policies allow tax-free growth and withdrawals during retirement, allowing people to spend 25-46% more income compared to traditional taxed retirement plans. It discusses using the policies to reduce taxes on social security benefits and fund retirement in a way that benefits the individual rather than the government. Key risks mentioned include the small risk of an insurance company bankruptcy and that the tax benefits could potentially be eliminated in the future.
Could Traditional Financial Advice Be Outdated?jimkipp

Jim Kipp, a financial strategist, presented on strategies for building and protecting wealth. Traditional advice may be outdated and greatest threats include taxes, inflation, and market risk. Inflation especially undermines savings over time. Safe strategies include asset allocation tailored to each person's age and risk tolerance. Products like fixed indexed annuities can provide upside potential with downside protection. Proper planning is needed to avoid taxes eroding retirement savings and to create generational wealth that passes tax-free. The presentation proposed using a checklist and wealth index survey to help people make better financial decisions.
This document summarizes the benefits of an indexed annuity product called Benefit Gold. It discusses how indexed annuities can provide returns linked to market indexes while protecting the principal amount. The document outlines several crediting methods and indexes available under the product. It also highlights some key benefits including a 5% premium bonus, lifetime income rider, death benefit, and penalty-free withdrawal options.
While most people think of permanent life insurance as a way to protect the financial security of their families, it can also serve as a powerful retirement tool.
The document discusses strategies for tax diversifying retirement income. It notes that retirement can last longer now while key income sources have been reduced. It recommends placing retirement savings in a variety of tax-advantaged vehicles like Roth IRAs, municipal bonds, cash value life insurance, and traditional IRAs to reduce taxes during accumulation and withdrawal. Cash value life insurance in particular allows tax-free access to policy values before or during retirement.
The Tax Diversify Your Retirement Income with Life Insurance sales presentation will help you understand the importance of tax diversification and the benefits that a Custom Whole Life (CWL) policy can provide. In addition to the traditional benefit of death benefit protection, the cash value of the CWL policy accumulates tax-deferred and can generally be accessed on a tax-free basis*.
Use the concept presentation and other materials to discuss how life insurance not only provides death benefit protection, but can also be a tax diversification tool.

*The cash value is accessed through policy loans, which accrue interest at the current rate, and cash withdrawals. Loans and withdrawals will decrease the total death benefit and total cash value. The supplemental retirement income is not guaranteed.
The document discusses tax diversifying retirement income through various financial vehicles like traditional IRAs, 401(k)s, pensions, profit sharing plans, Keoghs, and Roth IRAs. It notes that while a "tax-perfect" retirement plan does not exist, strategies like using cash value life insurance can provide tax-deferred accumulation and tax-free distributions to better diversify retirement savings from a tax perspective. The summary highlights how tax diversification can potentially increase the amount of money available to spend in retirement.
The document discusses the gender retirement gap and provides strategies for women to achieve financial success. It notes that women need to save more than men to have equal assets in retirement due to factors like fewer years worked, lower pay, and longer lifespans. The key strategies recommended include spending less than you earn, investing early and often in retirement accounts, understanding risk tolerance, having a financial plan, and using tools to track spending and calculate savings needs. The document provides examples and calculations to illustrate how to determine the appropriate savings rate to meet retirement goals.
Current retirement plans are failing many Americans and traditional saving methods pose new risks. Most people have lost substantial portions of their retirement savings over 10-year periods. Additionally, incomes have risen more slowly than in previous generations while costs of living and debt levels have increased. This document introduces a private retirement plan option using a proprietary life insurance policy that allows tax-free savings and withdrawals. This plan avoids problems with traditional 401k's and IRAs while providing guarantees of principal, interest rates, and lifetime income. The company offers consultations to explain how these private plans work.
The document summarizes the key points from a year-end tax planning seminar presented by Anthony J. Madonia on November 21, 2013. It discusses various federal and state income tax rates, exemptions, and deductions that may change in 2014, and provides strategies for individuals and businesses to accelerate deductions and postpone income into the next tax year.
The document discusses the changing financial landscape and opportunities with life insurance. It notes that fees can significantly reduce retirement savings over time. Life insurance is positioned as a better alternative due to lower fees, tax advantages, living benefits and ability to access funds penalty-free. The document argues that with the right strategy, life insurance can provide greater returns and income than other options like 401ks. It also discusses opportunities for referral agents.

Your guide to understanding the fundamentals of annuities, including their pros and cons, in an easy to understand manner so you can make an educated decision. Is guaranteed income for the rest of my life important to me? Is protecting the downside of my investment important to my family? Will I sleep better at night knowing that my investment will not lose value if the market drops tomorrow?

Science has proved it: people today are living longer than ever before. But as average life expectancies have been rising, the mean retirement age has stayed more or less the same. Since 1940 the average life span has gone up about 17 years, now at about age 79, yet the average age of retirement is more or less the exact same, about 65 years old. That leaves a big gap of your life filled without a paycheck, which is why Social Security, pensions and retirement income products are so important.
Despite the importance of Social Security and pension plans, fewer people than ever have pensions today and Social Security rarely covers all of a retirees expenses. On average, money received from Social Security only makes up about 42% of an individuals pre-retirement income. Additionally, Social Security reserves are suffering from underfunding, and are expected to run out by 2033 under current law. Pension plans are great in that they guarantee a lifetime income, but theyre becoming more and more rare. Today, the predominant form of individual retirement savings is in 401(k)s and IRAs. But those plans dont automatically provide lifetime income, leaving people to struggle with longevity risk: the chance that you live far longer than you expect. If you lead a long healthy life, as you certainly hope to, youd end up running out of your savings.One solution? Deferred income annuities.
A deferred income annuity is a way of insuring against longevity. You make a payment, or series of payments, to an insurance company. Insurance companies are able to pool risk and use the market for pooling and protection in ways that you cant on your own. This allows them to pay you an annual income, beginning at some future date, for the rest of your life. Surely stocks tend to yield a greater financial return, but with a deferred income annuity the value is in the guaranteed protection and the peace of mind. Deferred income annuities arent right for everyone. If youre younger than 45, in below average health, most concerned about passing money onto your heirs, able to self-insure off the wealth of your investment income, or if you havent saved enough and need to keep the money you have in case of emergency then youre probably not the best fit for a deferred income annuity. But otherwise, youre looking like a great candidate.

Retirement annuities (RAs) offer several benefits for retirement planning including tax benefits, disciplined savings, and long-term growth. RAs allow tax-free contributions of up to 27.5% of income and tax benefits when withdrawing funds. By consistently contributing over many years, RAs harness the power of compound growth so a small portion of retirement funds come from contributions while most come from investment returns. RAs also provide flexibility to increase contributions over time and offer diversified investment options.
This document discusses opportunities for gift and estate planning in 2012 given that beneficial estate and gift tax provisions are set to expire on January 1, 2013. It notes that the lifetime gift/estate and GST tax exemptions will decrease substantially, as will the tax rate, unless action is taken. It recommends making gifts now to take advantage of the higher $5.12M exemptions and lower 35% tax rate before they expire. Specific techniques discussed include outright gifts, trusts, GRATs, QPRTs, life insurance trusts, and sales to intentionally defective grantor trusts.

The document discusses the benefits of fixed annuities for retirement planning. It notes that Americans are living longer but face financial challenges in retirement. Fixed annuities offer guaranteed returns, tax deferral, and can provide lifetime income streams. Both immediate and deferred fixed annuities are described as options to help investors meet their retirement income needs through guaranteed and predictable payments.
OneAmerica is an insurance company that offers participating whole life insurance policies. Dividends are a benefit of these policies that can increase cash value and death benefits without additional premium payments. Dividends are determined each year based on factors like mortality rates, expenses, and investment returns being lower than projected. Policyholders can choose to use dividends to purchase additional insurance coverage, receive cash payments, or reduce premiums. Hypothetical examples show how dividends can substantially increase long-term cash values and death benefit amounts compared to a non-dividend policy. OneAmerica has historically paid dividends even during financial crises, demonstrating their long-term commitment to policyholders.
Variable annuities and mutual funds are long-term investment vehicles designed for retirement. Variable annuities offer tax-deferred growth and death benefits while mutual funds allow for more flexibility but do not provide the same tax benefits. Both have associated fees that impact returns. Retirement planning should consider factors like longer lifespans, inflation, and rising healthcare costs to ensure adequate savings.
The document discusses the benefits of fixed annuities for retirement planning. It notes that retirees face significant financial challenges, including rising healthcare and living costs. Fixed annuities offer guaranteed returns, provide a stream of income for life, and allow for tax-deferred growth. Immediate annuities provide guaranteed lifetime income, while deferred annuities allow for long-term accumulation of assets on a tax-deferred basis before receiving income.
This document discusses how using an average expected rate of return to plan for retirement can underestimate the risks posed by market volatility and downturns. It shows through examples how negative returns early in retirement can deplete savings to the point where recovery is impossible, even if markets later rebound. It advocates using strategies to transfer investment and longevity risks to a third party in order to "disaster proof" retirement and ensure income lasts for life regardless of market conditions. The document suggests getting a free retirement stress test to assess risks and determine if current plans are resilient enough to protect against financial disaster in retirement.

The document discusses strategies for planning a successful retirement. It identifies four key factors that can erode retirement savings: debt, inflation, taxes, and health issues. It emphasizes taking control of retirement planning early on through contributing to pre-tax and after-tax retirement accounts, maintaining a diversified portfolio, and constantly monitoring progress to adjust plans as needed. Individuals are ultimately responsible for their own retirement security, not employers or the government. Planning over a long time horizon is essential to maximizing net spendable income during retirement.

- Equity harvesting involves removing equity from a personal residence through refinancing and using the funds to purchase a cash value life insurance policy.
- It allows people to leverage home equity at a lower interest rate than they could earn through taxable investments, building wealth in a tax-advantaged manner.
- An example shows a couple earning over $30,000 per year in tax-free income from ages 66-85 by funding a life insurance policy with $100,000 from equity harvesting, compared to just $14,000 from taxable investments.
To paraphrase Dickens, theres a lot of controversy today about whether we live in the best of times or worst of times concerning retirement. On the one hand, many Americans generally have some kind of retirement support, if you include Social Security, Medicare, private and public pension plans, and the many types of pre-tax retirement plans, such as IRAs and 401(k)s.
On the other hand, demographic and economic forces are making retirement itself a much bigger challenge, primarily because people live longer now. That means you need to work and save enough today to somehow pay for later without employment a tall order. And recent market upheavals have demonstrated that you may not be able to rely on the stock market in the short term to pay the bill.
This presentation will introduce you to strategies that could help you to potentially build a bigger nest-egg during your working years, make it last longer in retirement, and even pass on more to your heirs.
Because, after all, retirement should be a time to finally relax, stop worrying and enjoy life. But you cant escape the daily grind until you are financially independent, which in the end is what retirement is all about. So bottom line, lets talk about working toward financial independence.
