Stop Taxing Your Harvest: Escape The IRA/401(k) Traps Now (Episode 30)
Description
Discover how strategic tax planning and modern life insurance design can fortify your retirement. Doug Andrew and team demystify the “seed vs harvest” tax choice and show how a properly structured IUL (LASER Fund) turns compounding into tax-free income. Learn how TEFRA/DEFRA/TAMRA and Section 7702 enable efficient designs that protect growth and legacy.
Uncover how smart policy loans keep money compounding, why indexed loans can create positive arbitrage, and how to avoid the tax drag that drains IRAs and 401(k)s.
Now that you see the cost of harvest-taxed savings, this episode reveals:
- The Rule of 72 and “93 million miles” compounding advantage
- No-vacancy funding to maximize cash value and reduce costs
- How 7702’s update made compliant IULs more efficient than ever
Whether you want tax-free income, downside protection, or a durable legacy, these insights show how the LASER Fund framework can transform your retirement.
