Just for a little more info/clarification...
I bought this about 20yrs ago, when our son was born,
and our financial world was a path unknown.
Since then, I've gone thru a couple of consulting firms
that were acquired and this Life Ins bucket
is now a very tiny portion of our overall portfolio.
So - I was basically wondering if the yearly $2k premium
is worth it.... as both the benefit & cash value appear to increase
by about $4k a year, in addition to having the overall death benefit.
