Flexible Lifetime Account (FLA)
Double your retirement Income and it’s tax-free
First, let’s discuss just what the basic issues are with the 401k. It’s a plan developed by Ted Bena in the 1970s. You could take a limited amount of pre-tax dollars from your income and put into a 401k program and let is grow tax-deferred until retirement, at which time you would take the money out, over time, at a lower tax rate. Sounds really good, right? Here are the problems with that plan:
1. In the 1970s, the tax rates rates were much higher than today. 70% or higher was the norm for higher income earners. The tax rates are now about 30%, with the highest tax-rate of 39.6%. The 401k only works if the tax rate is much higher for the money going in than what is taken out at retirement. That is not the case today.
2. The average fees, according to Forbes, for your 401k, are 3% or more. These fees are not fully disclosed. That mean your 401k has to earn at least 3% in any given year before you get a dime. Whether the market goes up, or down, you still pay 3% of the account value as fees every year.
The FLA is a program that replaces the 401k by taking advantage of the tax-advantaged benefits of cash-value life insurance. This plan is offered and supported by some of the largest financial institutions in the world. These include Voya, North American, and Midland National.
Face it, down deep you always thought that there had to be a better way to save for retirement, and now there is. This web site provides a description of just how this works for an individual or a business.
When you get done reading, you will understand why this is probably the best financial vehicle ever designed. Let’s get started.
