– Whole life policies tend to have much higher premiums than term policies for the same amount of coverage. The premiums are meant to cover the insured for life rather than a set term.

– Whole life builds up a cash value that can be borrowed against, while term life does not. However, the cash value build up comes at the expense of much higher premiums.

-Some will promote whole life’s cash value as a potential retirement funding source. However, the cash value usually grows at a lower rate than other retirement investments like stocks.

– Whole life is not necessarily a good investment product compared to term plus separate retirement investing. The main benefit of whole life is having lifelong death benefit coverage.

– Term policies allow you to get large amounts of coverage for affordable premiums strictly to protect loved ones. The coverage expires after the term without residual cash value.

– For many families, a term policy plus separate retirement investing provides better value than a whole life policy. But whole life does provide lifelong protection some may prefer.
