All of these things are to help your student get into their dream school, a school that is a good fit for them. Not just that, it also helps parents not to overpay for their children’s college education.
When you get a premium bill and your cash flow is limited, you should always pay the base premium first.The more you pay into the policy at that time, the higher rate of return you’re going to get within your policy.The next is the paid up additions rider.By paying the paid up additions rider in the first five years, it will give you access to more cash sooner so that you can start using your policy to pay for the things of life.The third priority is the policy loan interest.If you don’t pay the loan interest, the loan interest will be added to the loan balance and it may constrict the amount of cash value that is available in the future to access via the policy loan provision.The fourth area should be the actual loan balance. As your loan balance gets paid down, your cash equity increases.

We do a deep dive as to how you’re using your money in these five areas to show you exactly where you’re giving up control of your money.

Congratulations! You are now ready to access the cash value in your life insurance policy and might want to organize your finances by separating your family finances from your policy finances.
