You also earn dividends if you use a mutual company and your cash value increases based on the profits of the funds conservative investments. Also, much of the benefit is tax free.<br /> <br /> Whole life is not easy to understand IMO, but that is my attempt at summary.<br /> <br /> What do yall think of this as both an investment strategy (assuming one values the commensurate insurance as a product) and as a method of being part of a voluntarist solution to the problem of statism?<br /> <br /> &nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
