Which is fine. Then waste yer money, err, get the additional value added that comes with whole life.
For the rest of us who, if we die at 70 years of age don't forsee people needing $ upon our death, and would much rather have better control investments, term life insures against untimely death and allows your dependents to not be financially ruined in addition to mourning your loss.

No, I think I did. Cal, here's the answer to me which I can't argue against;
"Joe, you make some assumptions here. First, that the buyer of term will actually invest the difference as you suggest. While you object to the mixing of insurance and investments, I've found that such a large percentage of term customers come back admitting that they squandered the rest, and that they would have been better served by a whole life policy which comes with a monthly bill, like any monthly bill it becomes part of the budget, not discretionary money they can spend. Problem is, you assume that most people have the savvy to understand how and why to invest, along with the discipline to follow through on such a plan. In reality, there are few that actually do that."
So, I am pefectly capable of seeing the other side of the issue. JOE
What's your point? I have NEVER known a taxpayer to turn down a tax refund check, but that doesn't mean that they shouldn't adjust their withholding. Your argument above is for the weak-minded insurance consumers that are similar to those taxpayers that "like to get a refund."
