He realized that when people<\/p>\n<p>get sick, in addition to needing a medical doctor, they also need a financial doctor who can show them how to pay their bills. The wonderful video below tells the story in his own words. When I first saw this video, it motivated me to tell the story of Living Benefits to America. I felt empathy for the sick girl. She had to work until the day she died<\/p>\n<p>when her policy finally paid its benefit.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: rgb(45, 52, 69);\">VIDEO #2:<\/span>&nbsp;<strong><\/strong><strong>Cheng&#8217;s Story<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Cheng was focused on his future retirement benefits when he bought his IUL policy. He did not expect to be diagnosed with stage three cancer at a young age. Thank God, Cheng\u2019s policy had Living Benefits to protect him when he needed it the most.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: rgb(45, 52, 69);\">VIDEO #3:<\/span>&nbsp;<strong><\/strong><strong>Karissa&#8217;s Story<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Karissa lived a very active lifestyle and started her IUL policy not expecting to become a stroke victim at the young age of 50. Living Benefits put Karissa at ease and gave her family comfort throughout this difficult situation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: rgb(45, 52, 69);\">VIDEO #4:<\/span>&nbsp;<strong><\/strong><strong>Amie&#8217;s Story<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Amie\u2019s story is about a young nurse with an eight-year-old daughter. Amie\u2019s life was turned upside down when she was diagnosed with cancer. The Living Benefits check she received for $430,000 saved her life and her family.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: rgb(45, 52, 69);\">VIDEO #5:<\/span>&nbsp;<strong><\/strong><strong>Kip&#8217;s Story<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Next, we meet Kip, age 29. Like most of us, he never believed a critical illness could strike him at such a young age. When he was diagnosed with cancer, the generous payout he received funded his recovery.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"234\" width=\"1070\" data-init-width=\"1200\" height=\"691\" data-init-height=\"775\" title=\"Simple Needs Analysis\" src=\"https:\/\/www.moneysmartsbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/SIMPLE-NEEDS.png\" data-width=\"1070\" data-height=\"691\" style=\"aspect-ratio: auto 1200 \/ 775;\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><span><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"235\" width=\"830\" data-init-width=\"1200\" height=\"906\" data-init-height=\"1310\" title=\"Funding\" src=\"https:\/\/www.moneysmartsbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Funding.png\" data-width=\"830\" data-height=\"906\" style=\"aspect-ratio: auto 1200 \/ 1310;\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><span><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"237\" width=\"830\" data-init-width=\"1200\" height=\"1072\" data-init-height=\"1550\" title=\"IUL Contribution Summary\" src=\"https:\/\/www.moneysmartsbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IUL-CONTRIBUTION.png\" data-width=\"830\" data-height=\"1072\" style=\"aspect-ratio: auto 1200 \/ 1550;\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><span><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"238\" width=\"1070\" data-init-width=\"1200\" height=\"633\" data-init-height=\"710\" title=\"The Power of Starting Early\" src=\"https:\/\/www.moneysmartsbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/POWER-OF-STARTING-EARLY.png\" data-width=\"1070\" data-height=\"633\" style=\"aspect-ratio: auto 1200 \/ 710;\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Get Your Digital and Print Copies of&nbsp;<\/strong><b>Money Smarts<\/b><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px;\">Check out these links:<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" width=\"231\" height=\"231\" title=\"Money-Smarts-ACX-Cover\" data-id=\"42\" src=\"https:\/\/www.moneysmartsbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Money-Smarts-ACX-Cover.png\" data-width=\"231\" data-height=\"231\" data-init-width=\"800\" data-init-height=\"800\" style=\"aspect-ratio: auto 800 \/ 800;\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><span><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"76\" width=\"199\" data-init-width=\"678\" height=\"42\" data-init-height=\"143\" title=\"Kindle\" src=\"https:\/\/www.moneysmartsbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Kindle.png\" data-width=\"199\" data-height=\"42\" style=\"aspect-ratio: auto 678 \/ 143;\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-size: 22px;\">Click the button below to purchase<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-size: 22px;\">The Money Smarts eBook:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" width=\"231\" height=\"231\" title=\"Money-Smarts-ACX-Cover\" data-id=\"42\" src=\"https:\/\/www.moneysmartsbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Money-Smarts-ACX-Cover.png\" data-width=\"231\" data-height=\"231\" data-init-width=\"800\" data-init-height=\"800\" style=\"aspect-ratio: auto 800 \/ 800;\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><span><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"74\" width=\"151\" data-init-width=\"800\" height=\"43\" data-init-height=\"229\" title=\"Audible\" src=\"https:\/\/www.moneysmartsbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Audible.png\" data-width=\"151\" data-height=\"43\" style=\"aspect-ratio: auto 800 \/ 229;\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-size: 22px;\">Click the button below to&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"caret-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-size: 22px;\">purchase<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"caret-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-size: 22px;\">The Money Smarts Audio Book:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Alex Brush&quot;; font-weight: 400; color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-size: 50px; text-shadow: none;\">or<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; padding-bottom: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;\"><span style=\"--tcb-applied-color: rgb(106, 107, 108) !important; color: rgb(215, 215, 215);\">Join the FEG Living Benefits Crusade and become an FEG Agent today:<\/span><span style=\"--tcb-applied-color: rgb(106, 107, 108) !important; color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomequitygroup.com\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"outline: currentcolor;\" rel=\"noopener\">www.FreedomEquityGroup.com<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(153, 153, 153); font-size: 16px;\">2023 Money Smarts.
