Labor Day weekend is over and it’s back to school time. As the cost of a college education continues to increase, now is a great time to begin saving for those costly tuitions. One suggestion to help you save for your children’s future is to use a cash value life insurance policy such as an "Indexed Universal Life Plan".

The advantages of using such a life insurance plan, include:

• Tax deferred growth;
• Tax free withdrawals;
• Index funds for growth;
• Will not impact financial aid opportunities;
• Self-completing plan if the insured (usually a parent) passes away prematurely.

For example, take a look at the following scenario:

• The insured is a 32 year old male with $1,000,000 in life insurance protection.
• $10,000 annual contribution, for 18 years, followed by $50,000 annual withdrawal for 4 years of college expenses.
• No more premium contributions after the 18th year. 
• At age 65, the cash value is approximately $375,000.
• At age 85, the death benefit is approximately $2,282,000.

Of course, each individual scenario will vary. Please contact your FNA Representative and start planning today!
