Mo- sarcasm?

In Helado’s example, the person can at least pull from the Roth IRA when their car breaks down instead of collapsing the policy and all of their premiums paid. Can we all agree emergency fund before LI?

But if you had a prospect that had $1,000 a year in free cash flow, let's be honest.  This person is never going to accumulate retirement savings that really mean anything.  They are going to have to work until 67 to get full SS and have Medicare, maybe even 70.  

I guess you could argue that over 40 years, $85/month in a Roth IRA invested aggressively could be a semi-meaningful amount of money.  But then again, we're assuming this client is in their early 20s to have 40 years.

The reality is, this person is going to have to work in other ways to better themselves (i.e. increase their income) or reduce their lifestyle drastically to be able to save an amount of money that would meaningfully impact their retirement.

In addition to that, there aren't many of us that are going to take this person as a client anyway, regardless of whether they buy a term policy or put $85/month into American Funds A-shares.  Best case scenario either way, they get someone that MIGHT take their call and sit down with them every couple of years to give them ideas on how to better their existing financial situation.  

It wouldn't be the worst thing in the world for them to have $250K as a death benefit in case they meet an untimely demise, assuming this person (or household) has someone(s) depending on their income.  

Probaby their best ROI on that $1,000 is to enroll in some type of certification program to get a better job, or start putting it towards online classes.  

Now back to what I initially said, (sorry DHK), in reality, DHK would probably only sell this solution if it's literally the only thing they could afford.  It would be a pivot to permanent insurance with a term rider with some cash accumulation if they had $2,500+ per year in free cash flow.  

And that would be a shitty recommendation.  

My point was not that life insurance is a bad thing for this person to have.

It was that selling $1000 premium life insurance policies to broke people might be the worst piece of career advice one could get.

... then wealth management is NOT the direction that would be the most fulfilling for him.

Insurance is ONE such path - even if it's with Primerica.

He could also become a Consumer Credit Counselor or become a bankruptcy attorney.

Many different avenues out there.

Or an Accredited Financial Counselor. The Defense Department pays between $50 and $75 an hour to help out soldiers, sailors and airmen.

Go to AFCPE.org.

Give us an update on where you're at.

Are you still bent on giving the best advice to people in their lowest of times in life? Or have you moved on to people who have money and want to pay you for their services?
