401(k)s and IRAs have contribution limits, require mandatory withdrawals, and your money is fully taxable when you take it out. With tax rates potentially rising, you could lose a significant portion of your savings to taxes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is IRS Code 7702?
IRS Code 7702 defines the tax treatment of life insurance contracts. Properly structured policies allow for tax-free growth and tax-free access to cash value through policy loans.
Is this the same as whole life insurance?
7702 plans are typically Indexed Universal Life (IUL) policies, which offer more flexibility and growth potential than traditional whole life. The key is proper policy design for maximum cash accumulation.
How does this compare to a Roth IRA?
Both offer tax-free growth and distributions. However, 7702 plans have no contribution limits, no income restrictions, no age limits on contributions, and include living benefits and death benefit protection.
What are the risks?
Like any financial product, proper design and funding is critical. Underfunded policies or excessive loans can cause the policy to lapse. That's why working with an experienced professional is essential.
