Listen "Outsmart Inflation and Taxes with Indexed Universal Life (Episode 27)"

Episode Synopsis

Discover how inflation, taxes, and longevity threaten retirement—and how Indexed Universal Life (IUL) can protect you. Doug Andrew and his team reveal why the old “Buy Term and Invest the Difference” advice fails, and how the “93 Million” principle works to preserve wealth with tax-free growth.



Learn why relying on the 4% rule, Social Security, or outdated strategies leaves you vulnerable. Instead, see how max-funded IULs outpace inflation, create predictable retirement income, and shield your savings from market downturns.



This episode reveals:



- Why inflation is the silent thief destroying middle-class retirement



- How a properly structured IUL beats BTID with tax-free growth



- Why longer life expectancy means new retirement strategies are critical



- The broken promise of Social Security and the 4% rule



Whether you want compound growth, inflation-proof strategies, or peace of mind for your family, this episode shows how the L.A.S.E.R. Fund framework can transform your future.
