Thanks for the link, Kyle! And I second the motion that Clarifinancial write a follow-up post, I think those nitty gritty details are really important when you’re making a decision about purchasing life insurance. You should know what you’re getting into and I know firsthand that my knowledge comes from textbooks – I couldn’t get my insurance company to give me the time of day regarding any questions about my policy!

VULs created in the 80s depending on interest rates in the teens are a great example of this type of problem. That being said there are plenty of products that do guarantee up to 121 regardless of interest rates (as long as you keep paying lol). .-= Evan´s last blog ..What is Wrong With Chasing Bank Rates =-.

Don’t be sorry, I think a follow up post would be solid… even better a follow up guest post on Suburban Dollar.

Fair enough. I didn’t want to get all noodly and technical with that post, maybe I should write the follow-up.

It could be something as simple as living to age 96 when your policy only goes to 95. But more commonly, it’s that certain assumptions in the sales illustration (emphasis on sales) didn’t come true.

That’s not to say buying an assumptive policy instead of a guaranteed policy is wrong. It just means you should be aware of how permanent your permanent policy could be.

See, it’s already article length. Sorry.
