Whole Life Insurance Cash Value Gives You More Financial Options

When you think of life insurance, what probably comes to mind is financial protection for your family. In addition, did you know that whole life insurance policies include features that can help protect your financial life in other ways? One of them is cash value.

Whole Life insurance gives you more financial flexibility

Here’s how: Each time you make a premium payment after the initial policy years, the insurance company automatically puts aside a small portion, which grows over time. This is the policy’s accumulated cash value.

So how can you use the cash value in your policy? Here are a few typical ways:

• Borrow against it. If you run into a temporary cash crunch or financial emergency, the cash value could serve as a source for a loan that you pay back with interest.*As long as you keep paying the premiums, you’ll have that safety net.

• Temporarily use it to pay your premiums. Should you need ready cash to pay your premiums for a while, you could have your insurance company pay the premiums for you, by using some of your policy’s available cash value. It’s best to rebuild the cash value as soon as possible, however, to keep your policy’s coverage amount whole.

• Let it accumulate until you need it. The longer that you don’t touch the cash value, the more time it has to grow until a day that you might really have a need to use it.

• Turn in your policy and get it all. Down the road, should you decide to turn in your policy for whatever reason, you won’t come away empty-handed. You’ll receive the full cash value that has accumulated over time, less any outstanding debt against the policy. The sooner you buy a policy, the sooner that it can start building cash value – and the lower your monthly lifetime premium, because premiums are based on your age when your policy starts.
