38 Myths and Misconceptions That Sabotage Your Wealth

by Kim D. H. Butler and Jack Burns

Book Review:

Let’s start with this best life insurance book about busting myths. Most of us have little idea about life insurance, so we believe whatever information we overhear here and there. This book will give you distilled information about life insurance, which you should’ve known before you turned 30. This information will save you a ton of money and make an excellent protection fund for your family. If you don’t take action now, you must pay much more to get the same protection fund. So, pick this book up (even if you’re more than 30) and act prudently. This book is convenient, and you can immediately implement the lessons. The best way to read this book is to read each chapter, take notes, and see whether you’ve made a similar mistake. If yes, change it; if no, go on to the next chapter and repeat. We recommend this book to bust the myths but expect it to be filled with something other than technical jargon and calculations. This book is written for a layman that speaks to an audience who needs to learn the life insurance basics.

Key Takeaways

• You may have many questions regarding life insurance. For example, you may ask, isn’t life insurance a waste of money? Don’t I lose all my cash when I die? Or should I do life insurance for my spouse and family? This book will answer all of your questions.
• After reading this book, you can read something more technical to understand how to go for life insurance.

Book Review:

This book is not fundamental. You need to go deep to understand this book, and it’s required if you want to make a prudent decision. Life insurance seems so easy. When we take life insurance, we call an agent, talk to the agent about our options, and then choose the best. But life insurance isn’t as simple as that. You should pay heed to many other considerations, like compensation and benefits, estate tax, business succession, survivors’ needs, and wealth transfer. You must value each factor equally and decide which life insurance you should take. If you want to avoid all complexities, read this book after reading an introductory book on life insurance. Reading this book will help you with tools and techniques of life insurance planning, and then once you’re convinced with the figure, you can go ahead and talk to your agent about taking the best life insurance.

Key Takeaways

• Compared to any other book, this isn't easy to read because it covers every aspect of life insurance so that you don't get fooled by people who know more than you.
• This book is very comprehensive. You don't need to read another book on life insurance planning if you can chew the information this book has presented.

How the Wealthy Use Life Insurance as a Tax-Free Personal Bank to Supercharge Their Savings

by Jake Thompson

Book Review:

It is, again, a concise guide on life insurance. But it doesn't talk about the old basic principles of life insurance. Instead, it takes the discussion beyond simply using life insurance as a saving and investment tool. This book will show how the wealthy use life insurance to make more money and receive more tax-free income. Suppose you want to read this book with an understanding of life insurance as a protection coverage tool. In that case, you may feel disappointed because this book assumes that you already know the magnificence of having the right policy to protect your family. It will answer a few burning questions about life insurance, like – what would happen to the cash vault built up after the insured dies? Can grandparents ensure their grandchildren benefit their grandchildren? How can you convert a 401(K) to a lump sum policy? Do death benefits decrease after 7 years? If yes, why, and so on. However, this book will not answer all your questions. You can use a whole life insurance book handy. Also, this book can reference becoming wealthy through life insurance.

Key Takeaways

• You will be able to know how the wealthy use life insurance to create more wealth, reduce risk, and create predictable income, and also how one can earn 300 percent returns by leveraging their insurance policies.
• You will also learn why banks and corporations invest billions of dollars in this one industry and how you can save taxes and make more money using life insurance policies.

Book Review:

Let's say you want to read a bible on life insurance. Your only preference is that the information should be relevant. It should tell you everything you need (even the darkest truths) about life insurance. This book is slightly old but can be called the bible of life insurance. Reading this book will make you realize that life insurance has more facets than your agent ever tells you. For every consumer who has been thinking of buying an insurance policy or someone who has been making a living selling life insurance, this book is a must-read. It is the book you should always keep at your desk if you're involved in selling financial products/helping clients with financial planning. This book may seem to you as unfavorable at times because this book focuses on the wrong things in life insurance so that you can make them right as an agent and as a consumer. So, before you ever take life insurance or if you consider taking the second/third one, read this book first. And you would be aware of the flaws of the life insurance market, and rarely would anybody be able to fool you with their clever tricks.

Key Takeaways

• This book is updated and edited per today's life insurance market needs. So, don't put it off just because it was written 25 years ago.
• This book has alerted thousands of Americans over the years from the abuse and greed of the life insurance market. It can help you too.

Book Review:

This book is just an extension of the previous book. This book is a short, sweet guide and will protect you from the deception of the life insurance industry's sugar-coated attacks. It's all good – protecting your family with a life insurance policy, knowing everything about how life insurance planning works, how to use life insurance to your advantage and save tax and make more money, and how you can increase your returns on life insurance. But very rarely do people talk about the pitfalls of life insurance, which you should know as a consumer and as a new life insurance agent. This life insurance book not only talks about the wrong side of the life insurance business but also tells you the history of life insurance, which helps you connect the dots and relate to what the author is trying to explain. If you read the book "What's wrong with your life insurance" along with this book, you won't doubt what type of life insurance you should take. This book will save you a ton of money, and you can save and invest in better instruments than cash-value life insurance.

Key Takeaways

• You will learn the two most essential things in this book –
• First, life insurance agents sell cash-value life insurance only for one reason: to earn a commission.
• Second, you don't need to take cash-value life insurance. Cash-value insurance is just term insurance with a component of savings with a poor earning rate. If you take term insurance, you can invest the rest of the money into other better investment tools.
