The Power of Single Premium Whole Life Insurance

Single premium whole life insurance is an attractive financial product for individuals looking to secure a substantial death benefit with a one-time investment. For a 50-year-old man, investing $50,000 can lock in a death benefit of nearly $95,000, providing a guaranteed legacy for beneficiaries regardless of when he passes away. This assurance remains steadfast whether he passes in one year, ten years, or reaches a fabulous old age.

Key Benefits

1. Guaranteed Death Benefit:

The primary advantage of single premium whole life insurance is the immediate death benefit that exceeds the initial investment. In our example, a $50,000 investment secures nearly $95,000, offering peace of mind and financial security for loved ones.

2. Tax-Free Benefit:

One of the most compelling features of life insurance is that the death benefit is typically received tax-free by beneficiaries. This means the $95,000 payout is not considered taxable income, allowing the full amount to be utilized as intended.

3. Simplicity and Convenience:

With a single premium payment, policyholders avoid the hassle of ongoing premiums. This one-time payment simplifies financial planning and ensures the policy remains in force without the risk of lapsing due to missed payments.

4. Cash Value Accumulation:

Single premium whole life policies often accumulate cash value over time, which can be accessed through loans or withdrawals. This provides an additional layer of financial flexibility for the policyholder.

5. Estate Planning Tool:

This type of insurance can be a valuable component of an estate planning strategy, helping to cover estate taxes, debts, or provide an inheritance, thus preserving other assets for the family.

Single premium whole life insurance is a powerful tool for those looking to make a one-time investment to secure a substantial, tax-free death benefit for their beneficiaries. For a 50-year-old man, a $50,000 investment can provide nearly $95,000 in financial protection, offering peace of mind and a lasting legacy. This insurance product combines simplicity, guaranteed benefits, and favorable tax treatment, making it an excellent choice for many individuals in their financial planning and estate strategies.

A Washington Educator's Feedback and Questions for Secretary of Education Nominee Betsy DeVos through US Senator Patty Murray

Thank you for the invitation to share my thoughts with Senator Murray for Ms. DeVos. As a point of reference, this is my 26 th year as a public school administrator/teacher. I have served students in Washington, Oregon and Nevada. I have served as a music teacher, Middle School Assistant Principal, High School Assistant Principal, Director of Alternative School, High School Principal, Director of Educational Non-Profit, Assistant State Superintendent (supporting WA under-performing schools—285 schools holding 250,000 kids) and currently Superintendent in the Lyle School District. I have six children. 2 have graduated from public schools and 4 are still enrolled in WA public schools. I have served as a Union President for school administrators in Nevada and am currently the President Elect for the Washington Association of School Administrators for ESD 112. Thoughts on Ms. DeVos: There are a myriad of data points about her absolute lack of qualifications to serve as our nati...

Faces in the Crowd

Image
493 faces in the crowd from 1306 SW Webster Street to the Starbucks on Westlake at South Lake Union, Seattle, WA. Even gender division, well-dressed and disheveled, young and old, tired and alert, black, brown, white and in-between. 493 faces in the crowd. On the street corner. Metro bus route 125. South Seattle Community College. Westlake Center. Sidewalk passing Fantasy Girls adult theater. 493 faces in the crowd. I noticed 493 different faces in the crowd this morning. Counted them actually. I was struck by the enormity of the work within our public schools in Washington State and around the country. I paused this morning to consider the differences portrayed on the faces I passed. What is it that creates "the look" of each face I passed. What role did/will teachers play in the attitudes of fellow human beings that crossed my path this morning? There really seemed to be no "in between." Faces were filled with joy, hope and optimism or sadness, despair...

Leadership and the Danger of "I" and "Me"

Leadership matters. Leadership matters in all sorts of ways. Leaders give us hope. Leaders help us have the courage to make challenging choices and decisions. Leaders are selfless. Leaders promote others, care, have empathy and don't belittle those who are different than themselves. Leaders acknowledge their success only in relationship to the overall growth and improvement of those who they lead. As a school and district leader for the past 22 years I have worked diligently to try and improve the school communities that I've served. The goal has always been to work in collaboration with all stakeholders for better outcomes for kids, families and communities. Through each of these roles some degree of success and progress has been experienced. I've never believed for even a moment that "I" held the key, magic potion, or silver bullet. Leadership matters and what I know to be true about the leaders that I've watched in my lifetime succeed in serving their r...
