Your Income Should Match Your Premium

This is what Nelson Nash believes is the ultimate goal for someone practicing IBC. And yet, no one starts out at this level—it’s not possible. You’ve got to start where you’re able and slowly build your way up, increasing your premiums by increasing your portfolio of insurance policies over time. 

The first reason you can’t get all of your income running through a policy is because the insurance companies place factors on your income that limit how much insurance you can buy. This is because your death benefit acts as income replacement, and is therefore a factor of your income. If you’re aged 18-35, you can get a death benefit of 35 times your income. To give you a snapshot, from age 46-50, you can get 20 times your income, and from 66 and up you can get 5 times your income. 

This factor decreases because your number of remaining working years (at least by typical standards) is decreasing. And since insurance covers your income, the insurance companies are only looking at how much income you would earn in these assumed working years. All of this is a part of the Human Life Value calculation, which is essentially your economic replacement value.

Of course, some factors you cannot change—your age, health, and other income will contribute to the amount of premium you pay relative to your death benefit. However, an agent can design your policy to be structured with a blend of base premium and PUAs that can allow you to contribute even more premium to your policy.

That’s going to allow me to have that compound growth over time that is going to be a tremendous wealth builder over decades and over generations. And I want that kind of generational wealth-building too...
