Choosing term: practical shopping tips

In this episode of the Fit Rich Life Podcast, I sit down with Jonathan Aguilera, a former insurance and securities license holder who now exposes the hidden realities behind Indexed Universal Life (IUL) and other permanent life insurance policies.

Jonathan explains why many of these policies are aggressively sold with misleading illustrations, how caps, fees, and rising insurance costs can erode cash value, and why most people are better off buying simple term life insurance and investing the difference.

We also break down the myths around "infinite banking," when permanent life insurance might actually make sense, and how people can review or potentially recover money from problematic policies.
