This could be useful if cheaper, as you are making up the difference with your savings. Cryonics can only succeed with advancing technology. Therefore investment with monmthly payments into in a good technology based mutual fund is a good idea. In times of bad market performance, you monthly payment buys more units, and you benefit on the upswings. If cryonics is to succeed, then technology growth will continue and this will be reflected in the price of your units. If you put as much as you can in during the first few years you will probably be able to abandon the term policy before the end of the term as your technology investment will have reached the sum required. Consult with your cryonics provider as to how to make the mutual fund investment suitable for suspension funding. They will probably suggest a joint account or using a trust. -- ***************************************** Sincerely, * Longevity Report * * http://www.longevb.demon.co.uk/lr.htm * John de Rivaz * Fractal Report * * http://www.longevb.demon.co.uk/fr.htm * * Music I like - see homepage * ***************************************** In the information age, sharing can increase world wealth enormously, because giving information does not decrease your information. http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/JohndeR Fast loading, very few slow pictures Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=8698
