The 'Problem' - the Survivor's lack of income!

 Statistics:  

►"4 in 10 Americans age 60, will experience poverty regardless of their current economic situation and 3 of the 6 will experience near poverty."   

►"Once a married couple reach age 65, there is a 97% chance one will live to be 75, a 72% chance one will live to be 85, & a 45% chance one will live to be 90."  Sources:  AARP, National Underwriter Jan. 05

 

What does experience tells us? 

·      Most people are underinsured.  Sadly many have relied on term insurance only to find it has expired, just when it was needed most!

·      Survivors receiving Lump-Sum payments often find the money is all too quickly spent!  Insurance proceeds are usually depleted in 3 to 5 years.

·      Many fail to understand the mechanics of providing lifetime income, leaving their beneficiary in serious financial trouble. 

o  For example: Per an immediate annuity, the cash required to support a life income of $2,000/mo. for a female age 60 is $377,124!

  

Why aren't Traditional products the Survivor's answer? 

·     Term Insurance plans are very inexpensive because very few insureds die in the term period.  A male insured, age 60 purchases a 10 year term, now age 70, find 91.3% of the policies have expired and are no longer of any value to a future widow.  Source:  75-80 select & ultimate mortality table. 

·      Permanent Insurance plans are too expensive.  Only a very few can afford to purchase permanent plans in the amounts required to support the lifetime income for their Survivor. 

o  See above example, the insured spouse would need to provide a death benefit of $377,124.
