I started serious Investing Journey in Jan 2000 to create wealth through long-term investing and short-term trading; but as from April 2013 my Journey in Investing has changed to create Retirement Income for Life till 85 years old in 2041 for two persons over market cycles of Bull and Bear.

Since 2017 after retiring from full-time job as employee; I am moving towards Investing Nirvana - Freehold Investment Income for Life investing strategy where 100% of investment income from portfolio investment is cashed out to support household expenses i.e. not a single cent of re-investing!

It is 57% (2017 to Aug 2022) to the Land of Investing Nirvana - Freehold Income for Life!

Paying Whole Life Insurance Premiums Way Into Our Retirement Life??? (2)


Read? Paying Whole Life Insurance Premiums Way Into Our Retirement Life???

 Read? My last life insurance policy maturing on Mar 2016 and no more for me!



Last annual life insurance premium paid!


No more dealing with life insurance agents for the remaining time of his time on Earth on the value of his human asset.
 

Ants are unlike Grasshoppers. We have Goals! We plan well ahead of our times. With carefully planning, foresight and some emotion check and balance, we can arrive there safety and on time at our own terms.

It is not good idea to go into retirement having persistent cash outflow of $XX,XXX to pay for annual life insurance premiums when our human asset value is much nearer to zero for protection. 

Value for money?

  1. CW,

    Same same.

    Will be surrendering my Wholelife insurance policy when it hit its 20th anniversary this coming Nov 2015.

    It has served its purpose and it no longer needed ;)

    1. We are the living and real life lesson for our younger folks for them to seriously think about it.

      Whole life insurance is lifelong cash outflow commitment that required extreme and careful forward planning before we signed on the dotted line.

  2. Good job :) I have two whole life plan. One is a limited whole life, where the premium is payable to 12 years. After that, no need to pay anymore. The other is the traditional one, where I have to pay forever. I will also stop the payment once I reached retirement age, or once it reaches breakeven. By the time I reached there, it's not going to be a lot of money anyway lol

  3. Hi temperament,

    I'm going to terminate the traditional whole life (the one that you have to pay for the rest of your life one), not the limited payment one. There's an option to covert the limited whole life plan's coverage + all the bonus accumulated into an annuity in the future, so I'll keep that as an option. There's no point cancelling the limited whole life because by the time I retired, it'll already be long paid for.

    I think you'll have to access whether you still need that coverage. Maybe you can already self insured, then plus the medishield plans, might be good enough for you? After 25-26 yrs, I think it should have broke even already, but you have to check if it's true.
