“If you have a permanent life insurance policy, you may have noticed that it has a cash value from which you can make withdrawals and/or loans. Moreover, this cash value earns interest which is not taxed until you make a withdrawal, and loans are not taxed at all.

You have to be careful, however, not to withdraw too much or you could void the policy. Plus, any loan you take out that isn’t paid back could eventually reduce the policy’s death benefit. Cash value life insurance as an investment makes the most sense if you also have an insurance need. Plus, it works best if started very early – ideally in your twenties – when the cost of insurance is low and you have many years for the interest to compound.

The cash value in a life insurance policy can nicely pad an early retirement, but since it is a more sophisticated strategy, discuss the tax and policy implications with your insurance company before you take a withdrawal or loan.”
