info_outlineI'm a big beleiver in permanent life insurance and I disagree with financial entertainers who say that all cash value based life insurance is bad in all situations. That's why it pains me when I read stories like the one I share in this episode. Stories where an insurance company clearly overstepped the boundries of what's ethical in my opionion. When a company does things like this, it gives an entire industry a black eye. If you have never heard of Indexed Universal Life, you will want to watch this for sure. If you are being sold or or you already purchased an IUL policy, you will want to hear this for sure.
