Are there whole life insurance / Roth IRA options similar to Colorado Banking? I recently talked to a stockbroker about the possibility offered by the Colorado bank that offers an IRA with a guaranteed interest rate when the amount you put in ($ 150 per month) goes to a 80,000 plan whole life insurance and also in an IRA that would return 319,000 at the end of 45 years. I did the math and it does not proceed normally, but I am curious if there are companies that compete with the same type of plan.
Woah. Sound like you are a scam. I do not know how much you spend on the whole life, but I bet you spend at least $ 100 on this. And what interest rate you are on your IRA?
I have a 20 years term policy with $ 500k of coverage at age 30 and spend only $ 30 per month on this. I also put in $ 400/month in the Roth IRA with an average yield of 10% during the period of 20 years, I would have about $ 306.278,
But if I were in your situation and invested $ 120 difference per month for the next 20 years with a yield of 10%, I $ 91,883. In 45 years, I have 1.2 million dollars. Or if at the end of the term, I increase my contribution of $ 120 to $ 150 per month and continue to invest for the next 25 years, I would have about $ 1.3 million. Yes, I know 10% is not guaranteed, but with mutual funds that I saw and now they have averaged 10% -14% over the last 25 years (even with the recession we live right now!)

Do not mix apples and oranges, look at your life insurance needs separate from your retirement planning needs. I suggest, based on my previous career as a certified financial planner, you look for your term insurance needs life insurance because of the after life plans are generally poor savings vehicles.
You can choose from a wide variety of investments to fund an IRA. Mutual funds are a particularly good option for someone who can set a monthly amount over many years (which is called "dollar cost average").
Talk to some other financial consutants - preferably including some that do not work for a bank or insurance company - and look more options. It is possible to use an insurance institution and another for your IRA plan - in fact, it's probably a good idea.
