Bitshares Focus Post | Investment Language 101 Series: TERM OF THE DAY: -- What Is: ' Whole Life Insurance Policy ' | E.124 | Trading Candle Cheat Sheet Incl. Each Episode.

in #eos7 years ago (edited)


A series designed to help all the new people flooding into & entering Crypto/Investments daily who get thrown into the rabbit hole so to speak and everything is new to them.


Bitshares 101 Focus/Resources Section for New Crypto Folks now included near the end of each post - starting just prior to Christmas 2017. BTS is a Decentralized Exchange and much more. Very undervalued!

Now I am not saying Bitshares is like Life Insurance -- but they sure as heck can do a LOT with that platform, it is like a Swiss Army Knife of Crypto. LOL
And we all feel like crypto is our insurance and the way out of the Matrix.

It is a TLDR / Short Form Series, covering ONLY one thing each episode in blue collar, easy to understand language to give a SHORT OVERVIEW of the term or lesson of the day.

It is specifically designed this way to keep it short and simple.

People can then search out extra info if they wish.

I've never seen a regular series or resource running on Steemit to continually address this basic need so I decided to do it.


TERM OF THE DAY:


What is....

' Whole Life Insurance Policy ' ?

--

Whole life insurance is a contract with premiums that includes insurance and investment components. The insurance component pays a predetermined amount when the insured individual dies. The investment component builds an accumulated cash value the insured individual can borrow against or withdraw. This is the most basic type of cash-value life insurance.

Breaking Down...

' Whole Life Insurance Policy ' :

--

Whole life insurance provides policyholders with the ability to accumulate wealth as regular premium payments cover insurance costs.

These payments also contribute to equity growth in a savings account. Dividends, or interest, can build up in this account, tax-deferred. As indicated by its name, whole life insurance protects an individual for his entire life. This is the most basic type of whole life insurance, also known as straight life, traditional or permanent whole life insurance.

Who Needs Whole Life Insurance?:

Different types of life insurance fit different people. Whole life insurance is indicated for individuals in a variety of situations. These situations include the need to provide dependent family members with funding after the head of a household dies; to liquidate business debts, mortgages or provide family members with funds to pay down debts; to fund requests from charities; and to ensure cash is instantly or quickly available to surviving family members. There are a variety of other circumstances that may indicate whole life insurance for individuals.

History:

For 30 years, from 1940 to 1970, whole life insurance was very common. Policies secured income for the families of the insured in the event of the untimely death of a loved one and helped to subsidize retirement planning. In 1981, the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act (TEFRA) became law, and a number of banks and insurance companies became interest sensitive. Individuals questioned putting money in whole life insurance instead of investing in the market where return rates were upwards of 10 to 12%. The majority of individuals, at that time, began investing in the stock market and term life insurance.

Whole Life vs. Term Life:

Whole life policies have a living benefit and an accrual of cash that can be borrowed against or withdrawn. However withdrawals will be taxed at the ordinary tax rate, and loans if unpaid at time of death will result in lower death benefits for the beneficiaries. Term life is a temporary insurance which simply provides insurance for the policyholder and offers only a death benefit. While whole life insurance offers coverage for the entire life of the policyholder, term life insurance has a fixed period of time where the premium remains level. Eventually, the premium increases each year to the point it becomes unpayable or the policy simply terminates.

Please note -- I will have limited internet access for awhile -- so PLEASE do not be upset that I cannot reply right away, or to everyone. I am dealing with some changes, and will have limited time online and will be happy if I get a few blog posts up a week.
This has really upset some people but I do not force my opinions on others, or need to communicate every detail of my life or issues, most people do not care anyways. I invested around 10 hours or more a day on Steemit most of my first 13 mths here, trying to build community, put out content and engage people, help and donate to people, and I just do not have that time in my life right now, and that includes for replies and voting/curation.
I have done my best, sorry if you do not understand like some are clearly having a problem with. It's a blogging platform, and I will do my best at everything, and to keep blogging.
Carry On.
