Discover how Three-Dimensional Wealth planning protects what matters most: income today, flexibility tomorrow, and a lasting legacy. Doug Andrew and his team dismantle the shrinking 4% rule and reveal how a properly structured, max-funded Indexed Universal Life (IUL) can deliver tax-free retirement income while preserving compounding with a 0% floor and modern indexing strategies.
Uncover how taxes, inflation, and volatility quietly erode traditional portfolios—and how IUL’s loan-based income, downside protection, and design discipline keep more dollars in your pocket. Learn to avoid illustration “smoke & mirrors,” pick strong mutual carriers, and structure policies for efficient growth.
This episode reveals:
- Why the 4% rule is giving way to ~3.7% and what that means
- How a max-funded IUL can model ~7–10% tax-free income rates
- The Tax & Inflation Power Curve and the Rule of 72 in action
- How carrier competition drives lower costs and better indexing
The role of sequence-of-returns risk and how IUL mitigates it.
Whether you want tax advantages, downside protection, or lasting legacy benefits, these insights show how the LASER Fund framework can transform your retirement.
