Shownotes

Retirement and Life Insurance Expert explains why this may be the best environment in 80+ years to own whole life insurance. In this interview, Caleb Guilliams and PhD in Retirement Income Planning, Tom Wall, break down whole life vs IUL as a fixed-income/bond alternative, and why guarantees, volatility, taxes, and behavior matter more than chasing a few extra basis points of return. They also walk through how to think about internal rate of return (IRR), death benefit, chronic illness riders, and tax-free access to cash value as part of a holistic portfolio, not a stand-alone asset.
