There are different ways to structure a whole life policy. And that's great, because you can tailor your policy to your needs and goals.
But with all those options, you’ve got to be careful!
That’s why today we’re talking about the 90/10 policy structure. Some advisors really push it. Maybe you’ve heard it’s a great idea. But in my experience, it’s almost always the wrong way to go.
So in this episode I’m explaining why it’s so risky…
And I’ll tell you the rare occasion when it does make sense.
Plus, I’ll share what you and your advisor need to do (no matter how you structure your policy) to make sure it will perform how you want it to, without any unwelcome surprises.
