    Lots of older people age 60-80years old with no money to pay for funerals buy a small $10-30 thousand final expense policy (aka whole life policy) to pay for funerals because the policy will never end and never go up in price. Has nothing to do with cash value.

      Do you understand whole life insurance? Of course it isn't for everyone, but David Ramsey seems to not understand that isn't some standalone investment but an investment tool that is used in conjunction with other investments. Do you know this? You become your own bank with tax benefits dividends and compound growth. Plenty 9f wealthy people use whole life insurance as a strategy and David Ramsey accuses all of them of being duped. Well maybe he doesn't know what they know. When someone says that a particular type of investment is ALWAYS bad you know their advice is more than likely false because investments are not a one size fit all.

    I sell life insurance in the UK but we are heavily regulated and can't give advice. However I never pitch a WOL policy to my customers and instead encourage them to take a policy to either 80 or 85, sometimes 90 if they really want longer. WOL isn't really worth it for anyone.
    Termed insurance is much better than WOL.

    I exclusively sell term life, and Dave is completely correct in whole life being a waste of money… for anyone that is following the baby steps. Realistically, final expense is aimed at people who did not save for retirement and will never have the capacity to increase their income, either due to age or health. The people these policies are aimed at are people that wouldn’t be eligible for term life. Like, 70 year-old living solely on SSI or someone with a BMI in the 50s or higher. They’re policies with a low death benefit that solely serve the purpose of not leaving the deceased’s beneficiary with the costs of a funeral. Are the policies all that good, especially compared to term? No. But they’re better than nothing, considering there’s a pretty high chance the person it’s aimed at will die before they’d be able to save enough to take care of a funeral.
    That being said, if you qualify for term, don’t get one of these. Get the term (if you need it), and even if you don’t make a lot or are on the older side of things, at least get on it and save the money for the funeral while you still have time.
    This is why listening to people like Dave to get out of debt and prosper financially is so important. You don’t want to be in a situation where one of these policies would make mathematical sense.

      Here’s an idea, when you die instead of making your descendant go into debt paying for your funeral, tell them to only pay for what can be afforded. Using final expenses as an excuse for whole life is not a smart move. Whole life should be used for individuals who have dependents (wife, kids, etc.) that will need the money to survive after you die but you don’t have the money to afford term insurance till you die.
      Funeral companies are the biggest scams in the US that make families go into massive debt by tugging on their emotions. People don’t make smart financial decisions when in emotional distress and pay for a $5000 coffin when they can’t afford it.

      If final expense is a waste of money what should the elderly get for burial insurance. This is only a 5 to 15k plan. Cost starts out at about $30/month. They don’t qualify for term cuz of their age. What else besides final expense is there?

    • @PringleDinglesonThe3rd
      @PringleDinglesonThe3rd ปีที่แล้ว

      I sell whole life and yes term life is much better than whole life, if you have a renewable term don’t get whole life, if you have term that expires just get another term.
      That being said there’s a reason why there’s a distinction between “whole” life and “term” life
      Whole life is meant to be for your whole life and I agree don’t buy life insurance as a means to save.
      All that being said if you buy or have whole life don’t buy term life because whole life is a locked in static rate unless you decide to purchase more but term is typically renewed at a specified time frame and the price goes up according to age
      For example: Tim bought a whole life policy at 20 years old for $34 a month but Tom bought a term life policy at 20 years old for $18 a month in 40 years Tim will be paying $34 if no changes had been made whereas Tom could be paying $200 a month
      Edit: Life insurance is sold by uncertainty, no one is guaranteed to live 10 years you’re beneficiaries could earn more net profit from a policy than your investments or vice versa there’s a lot of factors
      If you’re confident you’re investments will exceed the net value of a policy go for it

      If you're in your late 70's, probably retired, and everything is paid off, you can save your own money for final expenses. Life insurance is for final expenses and/or to replace an individual's income. If you can save your own money for final expenses, you don't need a policy at all unless you're looking to leave extra money behind for a spouse or maybe your children. You're better off without a policy of any kind. A whole life policy isn't good for anybody at any stage of life. The only real beneficiary to a whole life policy is the insurance company.

      @@dakotadak100 So "nobody" who? Who are you referring to when you say nobody? Most people DO need life insurance to replace an individual's income if they pass away unexpectedly. Mostly younger folks who have a mortgage, a spouse, or children to support. Or are referring to the "nobody needs whole life insurance" statement? You pay MUCH more for a whole life policy that builds "cash value". Value for who? If you have a whole life policy and you pass away, your beneficiary receives ONLY the face amount of the policy, not the "cash value" which should be in addition to the face amount. The insurance company keeps any cash value that the policy may or may not accrue.
      Ask the insurance company why your beneficiary doesn't receive both the face amount of the policy and the cash value. Pay close attention to the answer they give you.

      @@cward1954 As I mentioned above the death benefit comes from two sources. One is decreasing term insurance and the other is the savings portion. Early on the death benefit will be much greater than the savings portion and an early death results in a death benefit almost entirely from the term insurance part. At say age 98 the death benefit will almost entirely the savings portion. Cash value is just the surrender value of the policy. For policies that haven't matured it will be less than the death benefit. If one dies at an old age you are accessing the cash value through death not surrender.

      Great point, I've never liked Dave's take on life insurance and how he groups all policies together without explaining that not all Permanent (whole) Life Insurance policies are alike.
      There are whole life policies that have set payment periods and once the periods are met the policy is good for the rest of the insureds life.
      I know them as paid up whole life and seen them sold in 10, 20 or paid up at age 65 points.
      I myself have a small 20 pay whole life policy. I made the mistake of following advice similar to what Dave gives and cashed in some great Whole Life Policies in 2004 HUGE MISTAKE.
      I now don't qualify for $200K term policies or they've become way to expensive so I bought a 20 pay whole life that will be paid up at age 73.
      Even if I were to live to the age of 90 the policy will be good and from age 73 to age 90 I wouldn't have paid a dime.

    Dave Ramsey is wrong in this context. Final expense whole life insurance is predominantly sold to (a) older folks 60+ who (b) have several co-morbidities that prevent qualification with most term insurance. Additionally, most are on low fixed incomes and do not realistically have the time to save enough money to bury themselves after accounting for monthly expenses. Millions of Americans fit the description above and without access to final expense whole life insurance, they would not have funds on hand to pay for proper burial.

    So I don't really think that whole life is that bad. My whole life Death Benefit grows with the cash value its not a 1: 1 more like 85 to 90 percent. I also get to choose when im done paying. The guaranteed cash growth is an average of 2.5 percent with an additional growth of around 4 to 5 percent. IT is not my primary form of retirement, but a good supplement. I also want to pair it with a ROTH and my 401k to immunize myself incase of future market volatility when I reach retirement. Is there people who could benefit term yes, but in the ball park of balanced portfolio this is my idea

    Dave Dave Dave....I love what you do my friend but you are mistaken. The type of whole life this chap is talking about selling is Final Expense. It is targeted at low-income individuals who are just looking to alleviate the financial burden of death for their families. Most don't have long to live, have health issues, and cannot qualify for term insurance because they are too old. Final expense is the only way they can get coverage - and they have no means to save enough money with the time they likely have left. Keep in mind dude, some people buy life insurance because they need life insurance - duh.

    Dave does not understand whole life insurance. At the heart of every straight whole life policy is a decreasing term insurance component. That's the insurance part. The other part is a savings portion. One must calculate the internal rate of return before surrendering any policy. Many older policies actually have a decent rate of return. In the early years the death benefit is the insurance part; the death benefit from a mature policy is the savings part. As interest rates go up whole life will make more sense for some high income people who want an estate. Of course with term life the company "keeps all the money" and more often than not pays no death benefit; that's why it is cheap. Does whole life make sense for low income people with little other assets who need a big benefit in case of early death: No. But this is not always the case and each situation should be evaluated individually

    • @warrenSPQRXxl
      @warrenSPQRXxl 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@astroman30 The problem arises with the term "all the money" which creates confusion. If you die early on when you paid only a few premiums your heirs get mostly the the insurance company's money. If you die in your 90s, your heirs are getting the "savings" part of the policy (the extra money you paid beyond what a straight term would cost plus interest). It is term insurance where the insurance company usually keeps "all the money" because people tend to stop paying premiums or outlive the term. Very few term policies actually pay out at death that is why they are cheap. The company keeps "all the money" with home owners, auto, travel insurance, etc. unless there is an adverse event. That is why you see so many auto insurance ads because for most clients the company usually keeps "all the money". Dave just doesn't get it.

    I read all these comments about him "exposing" whole life. You guys should really think for yourself and not just accept everything he says as if it's the gospel.
