John Stewart says it is not either/or and you need both. Whole life gives you a place to hold reserves, since lenders may want 6 months of reserves on properties, instead of earning under 1% taxable. How is a whole life policy like buying a piece of property? Stewart compares a $500,000 death benefit to a $500,000 house financed over time. You pay premiums, build equity, and dividends work like appreciation on a property. How does whole life compare to VUL and indexed universal life? Stewart likens whole life to a 30-year fixed rate mortgage and VUL to a variable rate mortgage. Indexed universal life is like a variable rate mortgage with a cap and a floor. What is the hierarchy of wealth? It is a framework taught at Paradigm Life. Stewart says tier one capital is your foundation, made up of liquidity, and later tiers cover capital deployed into other opportunities.
