Listen "Retirement Planning and Life Insurance: Assessing Your Needs"

Episode Synopsis

In this episode of the iWealth Podcast, Brad Connors dives into the
topic of whether life insurance is necessary during retirement. He
emphasizes that the need for life insurance depends on individual
circumstances and desired outcomes.

Brad explores situations where life insurance may be crucial during the
journey to retirement, such as providing financial security for loved
ones in the event of premature death. As retirement approaches, he
discusses the subjective nature of life insurance and highlights cases
where retirees choose to purchase permanent life insurance policies to
ensure a specific inheritance for their children.

Addressing the scenario where retirees plan to exhaust their savings
during retirement, Brad acknowledges that some individuals may not feel
the need for life insurance. However, he points out the potential
benefits of permanent insurance policies in guaranteeing an inheritance
for children. He stresses the importance of having discussions about
life insurance earlier in life to avoid relying solely on
employer-provided policies during retirement.

Brad notes that while approximately 10% of his clients initially plan to
spend all their retirement savings, their actual spending patterns
often change over time. He emphasizes the value of having life insurance
as a safety net for unexpected circumstances and as a means to leave a
financial legacy.

The episode concludes by emphasizing the need for individuals to assess
their unique situations and consult with a financial specialist like
Brad Connors to determine the necessity of life insurance in retirement.
Brad highlights the tax benefits associated with life insurance death
benefits and its potential as a retirement vehicle. He emphasizes the
importance of making informed decisions based on individual
circumstances and goals, with the guidance of a professional.
