KOC rates are very high. You can get better insurance for much cheaper. Plus they try to push you into whole life.
Insurance agents are always quick to say permanent insurance has its place, and is not for everyone, but everyone that walks into a agent's office seems to need permanent insurance.

I have never seen a permanent product that produces a better long term cash value than investing the same amount in a vanguard mutual fund. I'd scrap it yesterday.
That’s an odd singular reason to scrap it.

If it's not difficult for you to maintain financially and you think there's a reasonably high chance that you'll want to have money passed on to someone if/when you die (maybe you get married and/or have kids in a few years), you may wanna consider keeping it. As long as you're not in it to use the cash in 10 or so years but plan to leave it in case you ever desire passing on a death benefit, it may not be a bad thing.
Being single with no kids, it's reasonable to question "needing" that kind of insurance at that cost. If you end up deciding frick that, I'll just get another permanent (or otherwise) policy whenever that day comes, I would suggest just getting a cheap term policy with the option to convert to permanent for so many years. That way you know you can get at least some insurance if you ever realize you want/need it down the road, even if you get AIDS or something.
