After speaking with several brokers, I decided to work with you because you were the most informed across numerous life insurance companies and the nuances of their policies. You helped me select a policy with twice the internal rate of return than the first quote I had received from another broker. Life insurance is now a significant part of my estate, and I look forward to working with you for many years to come. — Keith, Public Relations

Life insurance as it exists today is undoubtedly a pale imitation of what it could be in a free market, but in terms of safety (and other utility), it’s the best option I’ve discovered so far.

There’s still a lot I need to understand about how life insurance works as a long-term savings vehicle, but for now I’m at least satisfied that some of my money is a little safer from theft and wildly arbitrary taxation.

It’s too early to tell, but I’m cautiously optimistic. I’m currently putting about 20% of my savings into life insurance, with the rest split between precious metals, investments, and traditional retirement accounts.

I wish life insurance could offer a better rate of return, but with an out-of-control pirate state sailing the financial seas, pillaging with impunity, I’m happy to have some measure of safety, even if it means giving up a lot of potential profit. — Tim, Self-Employed

At first, I was a bit shocked at your extremely informal writing style, but it has grown on me. I actually look forward to your emails and the intriguing stories. The style breaks up the monotony of the other emails. Your emails have gotten my butt in gear to create my long and short-term financial plans.

Your writing and book recommendations have been an immense aid in teaching myself better finance principles and proved to me that it is very important to save money for all of those opportunities and curve balls that life throws at you.

I am now the happy owner of two life insurance policies, and I am armed with the knowledge to use them effectively. Thanks! — Tom, Nuclear Engineer

Once the concept of whole life started to click, I was very sure this was the direction I wanted to go. You showed me how to get there and tailored my policy to meet my particular needs and comfort level- well, we pushed that a bit, but I’m glad we did.

My only question is, where were you 30 years ago to take me down this road? — Shari, Grant writer

Your meticulous attention to detail assures me that I know exactly what to expect. You’ve given me a different perspective about making my money work for me. I actually feel I have control. — Marilyn, Legal Assistant

And Now… Some hate mail from the Interwebs. These folks aren’t clients, but they do demonstrate that not everyone loves Yours Unruly (what a shocker!)

“Whole life is what scam-based insurance people like David Lewis use to make a lot of money in commission at your expense. Get term life insurance. Never mix investing and insurance.” — L.C.G., self-proclaimed financial expert and forum moderator; [location withheld]

“You ‘talk people into’ buying whole life insurance policies, which I personally think are not just a bad investment, but verging on a scam.” — R.F., Real estate investor and developer; [location withheld]

“According to David, most advisors are ideologues, spewing the failed practices of the companies who control the financial service industry. Only his way of doing things puts the client first.” — Joe, Financial Advisor [location withheld]

“David, I understand that you’re using Ayn Rand’s premise…

Well, you’re entitled to your viewpoint. But, I consider a flat dismissal of the codes that professionals have, for centuries, developed, refined, and attempted to live by to be absurd — and, frankly, rather silly.” — J.O., Financial Planner [location withheld]
