bowl_of_chow_mein_noodles asked:


I don’t seem to understand “Discount future cash flows to present.” If someone could provide an example of using this with data from Yahoo!Finance with the math, but making up an example is ok.

If I surrender and cash out my life insurance policy, how can I have it not reported on my taxes?

youknowregular106 asked:


I want to surrender my life insurance policy and received a check for the surrender value. The interest accrued over the years will be reported to the IRS. I’m willing to pay the taxes. I just don’t want it reported for personal reasons. Can the insurance company withhold the taxed portion of the accrued interest instead?

How do I lower my car insurance?

gabyrig asked:


I have a 2001 Toyota Rav4L with 65K miles on it and paid for. The Kelly Blue Book value gives me an average estimated value of $9,000. My insurance now with Liberty Mutual is $113/month. So a little over $1,300/year. I called last time to get a lower rate but they convinced me that this is the minimum I should stay with and lowered it from $150 by increasing my deductible.
I put my specifics in progressive and quote-net and ended up with half the rate for nearly exactly the same conditions that liberty is offering me. I plan to take public transportation more and park the car. I just want to be able to legally drive it to get somewhere in case of emergency and be covered if the car is hit. What would you suggest?

Can antone honestly defend the sale of Whole, Universal, and VUL life insurance?

Gladicouldhelpu asked:


All of the true financial experts agree that whole life, universal life and VUL policies are rip-offs. Is it only the ignorance of the public that allows these policies to continue to be sold?

My opinion, which is widely accepted among true professionals (not commissioned insurance salesman) is that mutual funds/stocks/ETFs in self-directed type accounts coupled with fixed term life is the only logical choice. Please defend whole, universal and VUL if you can.

Nice sales pitch Kristine. “What if I told you…FREE insurance…..” a line straight out of sales training 101. You never addressed the primary reason why that product is a bogus deal – high fees. The outrageous fees kill any benefit you discussed. And over 50 years, I will not lose money in mutual funds. If I do, then your insurance company will no longer be around to pay me because you would not have survived a 50 year depression. Of course, this product has a great commission so you will continue to rationalize its sale. But that is all it is is a sale.
