Manage episode 486001300 series 3639347

In this episode, I break down the real financial math behind term insurance versus whole life insurance, revealing how a seemingly 'cheap' $1,100 annual term premium can actually cost a family over $43 million across three generations. I'll show you why comparing these two types of insurance requires understanding net compound costs, not just premium prices.
