If I am single and have no children why would I be worried about this?

You mean the ones that watch Dancing with the Stars? I was hoping you could enlighten me. Everything I have ever read as a somewhat intelligent person tells me it is a pretty shitty "investment."

29. Single. $600,000. Company gives everyone basic 1X salary for free.

It costs me minimal to take care of my family. Like $15 a month. It's ridiculous not to have the max at such a paltry premium.

In addition, I could take care of my nephew, mother/father.

For my $15, if I get hit by a bus tomorrow. They get a ton of money from me for free. How awesome is that? Pretty significant.

Just wrote a client of mine the other day.

Married, 30, five fricking kids....
He has a 1.5 million term through an association.

Wrote him a $750,000 WL for 15 years (in 15 yrs, it will be paid off).

He's paying $13,500 a year.

For 15 years, he would have paid in $200,000. So, for 200,000 he can have a tax free 750,000 guaranteed death benefit to those offspring. That 750 is the minimum we will pay upon death.

There are illustrations and cash values that go along with it as well, but you get the drift. Maybe not the best investment, but the easiest and least stressful.

My understanding is that it is a terrible investment.

I am asking for clarification.

Do you sell insurance or something?

No, I don't. I'm also asking. I was under the impression that it is the better option between the two, even though it's the more expensive

And if he doesn't die he is out $200,000? Or is some portion of that vested at 15 years?
