Apologies in advance as same/similar discussion may already be in here, but I can't find it. Prospect has maxed out 401k, has some WL on himself, probably adequate. Is being pitched to get WL on wife (he and wife mid 50's in age--wife in excellent health) as tax free optionality for later in life (in 70's) as it builds out just like WL policy is on husband.
My view is no DB needed on wife and I'm having trouble agreeing this as a "forced savings" investment strategy even though they are maxed on other tax deferred. Also he is high earner but not feeling super secure in the job so committing to big annual prem = stress. Does this make sense at any level of funding given todays levels on interest rates etc? Thoughts?
