Permanent Life Insurance 770 aka Tax-Free Retirement?
« on: September 24, 2014, 07:56:02 PM »
Is this thing legit? I applied for a job at a place that does this and it seems to good to be true. Basically it's "better than a 401k or an IRA because you never lose your money."

Need more details.  Is this a deferred compensation plan?   This may be what's called "COLI" or "BOLI"

When they have to disguise what it is..."770 plan"..."Tax Free Retirement"..."be your own bank" then you know it sucks!

I was wondering why I haven't heard of it from here. So I wonder how they earn their money. Basically they're selling life insurance.

Yeah, they have super high fees and you get screwed hard for about a decade.  Run.  Run fast.
I am a former teacher who accumulated a bunch of real estate, retired at 29, spent some time traveling the world full time and am now settled with three kids.
If you want to know more about me, this Business Insider profile tells the story pretty well.
I (rarely) blog at AdventuringAlong.com. Check out the Now page to see what I'm up to currently.

I'm glad I ran from the job.
