Sandra,
Thanks for our call today. After reviewing your quotes, I revised them to give you a clearer way to compare your options.
š Revised quotes
To help you make the best decision, I updated your quotes so each option now uses the same premium. This creates a true apples-to-apples comparison.
Earlier we looked at 3% versus 5% breakeven graphs, but the premiums differed, which made the comparison harder. Using equal premiums gives you a clearer view of how the benefits stack up. šš»
This first comparison looks at the two 3-year Nationwide policies (A2 and A3). With equal premiums, the 5% benefit growth wins after age 86.

In the two 4-year policies with equal premiums (A4 and B), the 5% policy wins at age 98.

š§ My notes
Based on these updated graphs:
- If you prefer a 3-year policy, I'd probably choose the Nationwide 3% option because the breakeven is much later (age 86).
- If you prefer a 4-year policy, I'd choose Securian with 3% growth.
Between these two choices, I'd probably go with the 4-year Securian with 3% growth since the total benefits are fair bit higher.
You can then adjust your premium up or down from $850/mo based on your budget.
šš» Next steps
Once you pick your preferred policy and premium, let me know and I'll send you an updated policy illustration with precise numbers. Then we can start your application. šš»
