Is Whole Life Insurance Better than Term Life Insurance?

Ardmore OK.

Chris,

 Even with all of those great benefits, there are some drawbacks to

having a whole life insurance policy. For example, the investment component that comes along with a whole life insurance policy is not always what it is cracked up to be. Whole life insurance policies are no account flexibility. This means you can not spread your money among different accounts, nor can you move your money from one account to another. Whole life insurance policies also will not allow you to invest your money into different accounts.

It’s true that a whole life insurance rate tends to be more expensive than a term life insurance rate; this is why many people call term life insurance policies the most popular life insurance policies. However, a whole life insurance rate is higher for a reason; a whole life insurance policy will offer its policyholder benefits and options that a term life insurance policy won’t.

Excellent Question.
