I practiced a similar question before, and I think universal life might be the way to go for Nelson. The flexibility in accessing cash value seems crucial for his retirement strategy.

I’m a bit confused about the differences between whole life and universal life in this context. I feel like both could work, but I can't recall which one is more beneficial for tax planning.

I think leveraging the cash value with a collateral loan could be a smart move, especially since Nelson has a high income. It might help him manage taxes better in retirement.

I remember discussing the benefits of universal life insurance in class, especially how it can provide flexibility with cash value access. But I'm not sure if a policy loan is the best option for Nelson.
