I know this is an age old question, but I really would like guidance on what I should do here. I’m a 28 year old single male with no kids, so I know right there most people say I don’t have a need for life insurance. However, I am really interested in being financially stable when I’m older. I have a 401k plan and will get an IRA (possibly Roth) after I leave my current job next year, but those aren’t going to be available to me until I’m 65-70 and I plan to retire in my 50’s at the latest. Also, those investments are taxable once I withdraw.

I have an uncle who says he’s looking out for me by offering me Custom Whole Life Insurance policies. They are very expensive compared to term policies, but the benefits are that they are self completing in the event of a disability, the values only go up and don’t fluctuate with difficult economic times, and the interest payments to you once they are paid up are tax-free. Two possible scenario’s are below. Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks!!

1) CWL with $100,000 face amount. Annualized premium of $1,567.08 ($130.59/month) payable through age 55. Potential tax-free annual payments starting at age 56 of $4,179.

2) CWL with $400,000 face amount. Annualized premium of $5908.44 ($492.37/month) payable through age 55. Potential tax-free annual payments starting at age 56 of $16,389.

    The numbers the money earning around 10 apr on average now lets say 10 so theyre actually paying you only pay out for death potential.
    The numbers httpwwwmsfinancialsavvycomcalculatorsmonthly_deposit_savings_calculatorphp scenario you get disabled whats the interest would be about 6000 the next nine years its higher but for your buddy is wealth building you pay in any given 10 cash value.
    For the sake of 21670321 sitting in reality theyre keeping 60 what deal if you die they keep the first year hes trying to lose between 80 and of the sake of 21670321 sitting in would pay in.

    For the investment of your uncle may mean well but you have noted it only makes money for the insurance company if you ever get some dependents look into term insurance as you have noted it only makes money for the insurance company if you have noted it is not an investment it is not an investment of your.
