07: Term Life Insurance vs. Whole Life


Listen Later

When evaluating term life insurance vs. whole life, you've probably heard the advice to 'buy term and invest the difference.' This popular recommendation has one glaring problem: it uses simplistic grade school math to add up premiums and declares whole life insurance 'too expensive.'

But when we apply proper financial math—analyzing true lifetime costs, equity building, and the time value of money—the comparison looks dramatically different. In this episode, I show why whole life insurance is an asset that creates wealth rather than an expense, and why the 'cheaper' option might actually cost you hundreds of thousands more over your lifetime and millions generationally.
