Great advice by Peter G. Whole Life is possibly the worst investment you can make just below an annuity. High cost low rate of return equals a poor investment. Even universal life is an iffy investment at best. Just do a small comparison between your cash value in you whole policy and you mutual fund account and there will be a very stark difference.
