ReplyDeleteSame same.
Will be surrendering my Wholelife insurance policy when it hit its 20th anniversary this coming Nov 2015.
It has served its purpose and it no longer needed ;)
We are the living and real life lesson for our younger folks for them to seriously think about it.
DeleteWhole life insurance is lifelong cash outflow commitment that required extreme and careful forward planning before we signed on the dotted line.
:-) :-) :-)
Good job :) I have two whole life plan. One is a limited whole life, where the premium is payable to 12 years. After that, no need to pay anymore. The other is the traditional one, where I have to pay forever. I will also stop the payment once I reached retirement age, or once it reaches breakeven. By the time I reached there, it's not going to be a lot of money anyway lol
ReplyDeleteHi temperament,
ReplyDeleteI'm going to terminate the traditional whole life (the one that you have to pay for the rest of your life one), not the limited payment one. There's an option to covert the limited whole life plan's coverage + all the bonus accumulated into an annuity in the future, so I'll keep that as an option. There's no point cancelling the limited whole life because by the time I retired, it'll already be long paid for.
I think you'll have to access whether you still need that coverage. Maybe you can already self insured, then plus the medishield plans, might be good enough for you? After 25-26 yrs, I think it should have broke even already, but you have to check if it's true.
