Did you know life insurance can be a powerful tool in planning your retirement? Here’s how you can tap into your policy to maintain your lifestyle when you retire: ✅ Build a Cash Reserve: Permanent life insurance policies accumulate cash value over time. This isn't just a safety net. It's a growth opportunity that can support your finances as you age. ✅ Tax-Free Retirement Income: With careful planning, you can withdraw from your policy’s cash value tax-free, as long as it doesn’t exceed the premiums you’ve paid. ✅ Borrow from Yourself: Need a loan? Borrow against your permanent policy's cash value. It’s like giving yourself a financial boost with no immediate repayment required. Keep in mind it will reduce the death benefit if not repaid. ✅ Sustain Your Policy: Nearing retirement and revising your budget? You can use your policy’s accrued cash to continue covering its premiums. It’s self-sustaining insurance! Have questions or need more info? Feel free to call or email us anytime! We're here to help you navigate your retirement planning with the best tools available.
