Here’s an under-the-radar investment strategy those in the know take full advantage of.
Yes, life insurance, that phrase you’ve heard your whole life but not might be completely familiar with is, in fact, one of the best ways to bequeath money to your family. Here’s why: You can buy as much life insurance as you want – $300,000, $400,000, etc. – and it will pass on to your beneficiary tax free. Amazingly, life insurance remains the only “investment” that is not taxed.
