Hello blogworld, I've decided to post my next entry regarding kids college saving plan and what is the best plan out there. Usually the most popular type is the 529 plan and I'm against it simply because of the fact that if you don't utilize in the future for your kids tuition you can face a huge penalty. Also there is liquidity issue with this plan and it doesn't accrue any interest. You simply lock your money up and in the future you have access to it.
Solutions....
Now if that is the case I'd recommend a ROP (return of premium) life insurance. If your a mother or father and have a kid who is dependent on you, your going to need life insurance anyways because in the case of the absence of the breadwinner, the people who are dependent on you can continue on with their lives financially. ROP also guarantees that you are insured for 10,20,30 years (however you delegate it) and by that 10,20,30 years, if you are still alive and well the Life Insurance Company will give you back all the money you've contributed. Plus you have access to portion of your money starting the 4th, 5th, 6th year and each year you'll have more access to your money. If you decide to not touch your money until that 10,20, or 30th year, then you have access to all your money and you can use it for whatever you want.
Another solution will be a ING global plus life insurance. This product you have liquidity so you can use it without any penalty or getting taxed for your long term goals. I'll get into more details about this product when my video uploads...VIDEO COMING SOON!

I’m a life insurance agent but I hate life insurance agents
Now don’t get it twisted by hearing this title. This doesn’t mean that I hate myself or that I hate my job. In fact it is quite the opposite. I do very much love my job at ING and I love giving financial advice the right way, but it has been brought to my attention that in this day and age, using a Life Insurance Company to plan out your long term savings/retirement plan can potentially be one of the most effective way to maximize your dollars. Some of the reasons why Life Insurance is so effective is because of the high interest captured in the up market and also the guarantees of not losing in a down market, the tax free withdrawals, liquidity at any time, and the protection for your family. Sounds pretty sweet huh? Then why are insurance companies so frowned upon? Why are these life insurance agents frowned upon?
I’ve read through many different policies from many different clients and they all have one thing in common, GREED! Yes, greed from these so-called life insurance agents who classify themselves as Financial Advisors who don’t have a damn clue towards how the policy they are promoting works. The only thing many of these agents do know is how to set up someone’s policy so that they can extract the most commission off of their clients. I believe it is a mixture of not only the life insurance agents’ fault but also their insurance companies that they represent. They under emphasize the importance of continuous class training for new and veteran agents and the consequences of that is that the clients become the victims of their own financial futures.
Life insurance agents are practicing these unethical behaviors with their clients everyday. An example would be an agent who raises the death benefit much higher than their monthly contribution, which of course increases an agent’s commission. Since this unethical practice happens around the world, people like Dave Ramsey and Suze Orman are able to capitalize their reputation and popularity by simply pointing their fingers and speaking in a loud, stern voice that all permanent life insurance is garbage. I just wanted to point out that there are good agents out there and the best way to distinguish the good from the bad boils down to the agent’s heart and why they are in this business rather than someone who is wearing a salesperson’s cap.
