You've probably heard the debate about whether term or whole life insurance is "better" and wondered which side is right. In this episode, we explain why you're asking the wrong question entirely. Comparing these two types of insurance based on premium alone will lead you to the wrong conclusion every time.

We'll show you why term and whole life insurance are designed for completely different purposes. Term insurance efficiently protects against lost wages if you die prematurely. It's temporary, affordable coverage that handles a specific risk during your working years.

Whole life insurance serves entirely different needs, like covering estate administration costs, final expenses, and supplementing retirement income. You'll learn about the five distinct situations where whole life makes sense, including its unique cash value component. We also discuss why the higher premium for whole life isn't a bug—it's a feature based on the mathematical certainty that the insurance company will eventually pay a claim.

You might discover that you need both types of coverage, not one or the other. We'll help you understand when each tool is appropriate and why trying to force one product to do the other's job is a recipe for frustration. This isn't about which product is superior—it's about matching the right solution to your specific situation. ____________________________________
