Dear Ken and Daria,
I have a life insurance policy through work that will end when I retire soon. I say we still need the insurance, but my husband disagrees. What do you suggest?

We use ourwhole life insurance as a tool for production. Just because premiums are high doesn't mean that it cannot be used to produce wealth.
The financial product is the backbone of our financial plan. We can access the cash value whenever we want, it earns a rate of return, and is protected from lawsuits. Can a 401k do that? No.
If you know how to use this product, it can boost you towards the goal of financial freedom.
