Accelerated Benefit t Riders are available at no additional cost and may allow you to access all or a part of your death benefit t to help pay for costs associated with a terminal, chronic or critical illness.
Protection in the event of disability
For an additional fee, many policies o er an optional Waiver of Premium Rider that continues to pay your planned premiums if you became permanently disabled, keeping your policy on track with your original accumulation goals.
So what is best for you?
For many people, a Roth IRA is a great tool. However, as mentioned earlier, there are some restrictions as to how much you can contribute and how much income you are allowed to have in order to qualify for a Roth IRA.

Permanent life insurance may be the solution.
If you have someone who depends on you financially, then you may need life insurance. In addition to the death benefit t protection, permanent insurance cash value can also serve as an accumulation vehicle, with some great tax advantages. Premiums are determined based on the amount of coverage you need and distributions, through tax-free w withdrawals and loans, can generally be taken after your first policy anniversary. Your insurance agent can help you determine the best coverage to meet your goals.

It may be that a combination of the two works best for you.
If you meet the income eligibility requirements for a Roth IRA, but want to set aside more than the contribution limits allow and you have a need for protection, you may want to do both a Roth IRA and Permanent Insurance. Contribute the maximum you can under the Roth and then apply the excess amount to your life insurance coverage.
