401(k) / IRA — tax-deferred, but restricted until age 59½
With Whole Life Policy
$10.90MBrokerage & bank savings — fully accessible, taxable growth
401(k) / IRA — tax-deferred, but restricted until age 59½

Growing death benefit from Paid-Up Additions — increases every year via dividends
Your annual premium of $75,000 is redirected from your taxable savings bucket into the whole life policy. While your taxable savings grows slightly slower, you gain a new bucket — cash value — that grows on a guaranteed basis, is accessible at any time via policy loan, and is backed by a $2,510,000 base death benefit that immediately enters your net worth picture — and grows over time via Paid-Up Additions.
