This whole article looks like a pitch for whole life insurance.
Never mix up insurance with investing. Who insures the insurance companies that make these promises of guaranteed returns. Guess what they invest your money in Real estate and stocks and bonds – and their big buildings so their Guaranteed return is not worth that much in a credit crisis where major banks and even the dollar itself are shaky. If the dollar has depreciated by 80% against gold in the last 5 years what is a 6% return paid in dollars really worth?

Wow, worst advice I’ve ever seen. Might as well advise us to stash cash under the mattress. Can’t imagine any pro-active, risk taking entrepeneur using this super cautious approach and trusting it all to a life insurance plan.
Real investing and protecting savings or earned income requires a little more effort and education than this plan.
