How can I get tax-free income at retirement?
There are very few ways to get tax-free income at retirement. One way is municipal bonds, but those may have either high risk or low returns. Another way is through a Roth IRA, but there are income and contribution limits associated with a Roth IRA that limit the amount you can contribute. An excellent way to receive tax-free income is through a policy loan on a life insurance policy, specifically an Index Universal Life insurance policy offered by National Agents Alliance.
What is Index Universal Life Insurance?
Index Universal Life insurance is a permanent life insurance policy that has a "living" benefit, in the form of a cash value, in addition to a death benefit that is paid at death. The cash value in your policy earns interest based on either a fixed interest rate, an interest rate that is based on the increase in an equity or bond index or a combination of both. What makes Index Universal Life insurance unique is the ability to earn interest based on the movement of an external index (like the S&P 500®). With indexed based interest, you are likely to earn higher interest over time than with a fixed interest rate.
What makes Index Universal Life insurance a great tool for retirement savings is that you are able to take advantage of a portion of the gains in the market when an index rises without having to take any of the risk when an index decreases. In other words, your money is at NO market risk! If the index goes down in any given year, you are guaranteed that your cash value will not decrease due to that market loss.
Not only are you able to save money for retirement through the cash value in your Index Universal Life insurance policy, if you were to die prematurely, your loved ones will receive the death benefit of the insurance policy federal income tax free.
Why is Tax-Free Retirement using Index Universal Life insurance so important?
You can access the money in your cash value through policy loans & that income is federal income tax free! As mentioned earlier, life insurance is one of the very few ways to get access to your money tax-free. And, the policy loan (and loan interest, if any) does not have to be paid back as long as the policy remains in force! If the policy loan is not repaid, at death any unpaid loan balance will be deducted from the death benefit & the remaining death benefit will be paid to your beneficiary.
And let's face it, income tax rates are likely to increase in the future. You can also protect your retirement income savings from being decreased due to potential future income tax rate increases. You don't have to worry about future income tax rates because your income will be income tax free!
