There is a sea change in how the general public and our members use life insurance. When my grandfather, a farmer was alive, life insurance was the only vehicle to build an estate for retirement and to pass it on to loved ones, tax free. Today, the 401k which was created to shield highly compensated executives from immediate taxes has been sold to everyone as the primary retirement savings vehicle. Pensions have failed, markets have failed, and members 401k's have failed. But our insurance continues to protect our members from taxes, probate, failure in the markets and is the highest rated insurance company in North America and has been named a World's Most Ethical Company for the past 2 years. We only invest your money in vehicles screened and approved by the United Stated Council of Catholic Bishops, so you can rest assured your money is doing good for you and your family and the world. Please take a few minutes to watch this very educational video by CPA Ed Slott, named "The Best Source of IRA Knowledge" by the Wall Street Journal, which explains the tax and other advantages of life insurance as an investment alternative: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0oYCPoKylI
