re: Whole Life Insurance, etc

I mean you cash it out and you lose money, just like a divorce up to a point. I would have to look, but my guaranteed money without any dividend influence breaks even with my investment at like 17 yrs. At 10 yrs I would get back like 75% of my investment. My policy has never missed a dividend payment and puts a multiplier on the dividend payment tied to that years S&P 500 performance up to 2x so I would imagine my break even will be closer to 12 yrs. I'm sure if I closed my policy early I would be pissed for not investing in something else, but I knew what I was getting and how I planned to use it when I signed up. I doubt I will ever touch it, probably just use it for my kids wedding, first house downpayments, etc. then they get a pretty generous gift tax free when we pass.

Lol.
If you saw the fees associated with producing and managing the policy, you'd laugh too.

That's my only point.
You close off ALL OTHER opportunities when you take on that marriage to your life insurance policy. 30 years is a long time to pretend that other opportunities won't come by.

It sounds like you are bragging that you break even at 12 years. I hate to break it to you, but the best ones set you up at neutral at 7 years. Maybe you have more benefits in the long term than those 7 year options (or maybe it wasn't structured to maximize your return).

You come off like you are bragging that you don't need the policy at all. It is just something to do with your cash.
I wouldn't enter a marriage with such a cavalier attitude. But we don't have to agree on this one.
