I am getting a whole life policy with Mass Mutual, and there is a PUA option (called ALIR).
I was just wondering what were the pros and cons of buying PUAs vs just getting an additional, smaller policy later in the future?
It's a cash building play much more so than a death benefit building play. As far as death benefit goes, it's the most expensive way to pick up extra death benefit. In terms of cash building, it's the most efficient way to do it.
.Yes, I gave up on this idea. When I actually had my agent run an illustration for it (1300 base + 1000 additional), it immediately became a MEC in year one. As soon as I heard that, I was not interested. (I want to avoid MEC -- stocks would be better taxwise, in that case).
I did not have the MEC problem with a blended policy quote at a different company, similar setup (1000 base + 1300 additional), so I think it must be something about the face value of the initial policy -- the WL policy with additions had a face value of around 100K, while the blended had 20K whole life and 180K term.
