The Benefits of Buying Indexed Universal Life (IUL) Policies for Your Children

 The Benefits of Buying Indexed Universal Life (IUL) Policies for Your Children

Providing financial security for your children is a priority for any parent. One way to ensure long-term protection and growth potential is by investing in an Indexed Universal Life (IUL) insurance policy. While traditionally viewed as a tool for adults, IUL policies can be an excellent option for children, offering a variety of benefits:

1. Life-Long Coverage

IUL policies guarantee permanent life insurance coverage as long as premiums are paid. By securing a policy for your child early in life, you lock in a low premium, ensuring coverage throughout their lifetime, regardless of future health conditions.

2. Tax-Advantaged Cash Value Growth

One of the most significant advantages of an IUL policy is its ability to accumulate cash value. These policies are linked to stock market indexes, such as the S&P 500, allowing for cash value growth when the market performs well, while also offering downside protection. The cash value grows tax-deferred, providing a valuable, tax-advantaged financial asset for your child in the future.

3. Flexible Financial Tool

The cash value accumulated in an IUL policy can be used to support your child at various life stages. Whether it's for college tuition, starting a business, or purchasing their first home, the policy can serve as a flexible financial resource. Withdrawals or loans can be made against the cash value, often without the tax implications associated with other savings options.

4. Builds Wealth Early

Starting an IUL policy for your child gives them the benefit of time. The longer a policy is held, the more it can grow, thanks to compound interest. Establishing this early can set your child on a path to long-term financial stability, laying a foundation for wealth accumulation throughout their life.

5. Protection Against Future Uncertainty

As your child grows, so do the uncertainties of life. Health complications, accidents, or lifestyle choices could make obtaining life insurance more expensive or even impossible. By purchasing an IUL policy early, you ensure your child has coverage that cannot be revoked, regardless of future health status.

An Indexed Universal Life policy for your child not only provides the security of life insurance but also offers long-term financial growth opportunities. By making this investment now, you’re giving your child the gift of financial flexibility and security that will benefit them for years to come.

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
