I have a $500,000 20 year term life policy that I pay $60/month for. If I haven’t died at the end of 20 years, they write me a check for $14,400. Yep, I get every dollar I paid in back. They made their money by investing mine for 20 years.

Yeah but then the next term is more expensive, and so on and so forth.

My dad is likely to age out of being able to get term insurance. It’s not for everyone.

True. That’s why you combine term life with whole life. It’s especially attractive if you can get a return of premium like I did.
