Jayson Lowe breaks down how much to pay for high cash value life insurance: buy the death benefit you actually need, then decide how you'll use the policy while alive. You can borrow against it to finance lifetime needs, and it's a gradual process of building control over your own financing.

In my experience, what would I suggest is a good amount to pay for high cash value life insurance? Well, there's two elements to my response to that question. So the first element is making sure that the death benefit of the insurance policy has merit. And so whatever amount of death benefit is required is the amount that you should be purchasing. That's the amount that you should own. The second element is what do you plan to utilize that policy for? So what specific objectives do you have while you're still alive? Because with this type of insurance contract, you don't have to die to win. You can utilize this contract while you're alive to control how you finance all the things that you need while you're alive. And these policies that accumulate rapid high cash value can be borrowed against for all those things that you need throughout your lifetime. So the amount that you should pay is the amount necessary to take control of financing all the things that you need throughout the course of your lifetime. I understanding that it's a process, it's not an event, meaning you're not going to buy one policy and achieve what I just described through the device of a single policy. That's an event, a process means that you're going to take control of what I described gradually and incrementally throughout the course of your lifetime. And odds are you're going to live a long life and you're definitely going to need the use of money and someone's going to control how you finance those things that you need throughout your life. It can and it should be you.
