Not trying to flatter you but 41 isn’t that old…

Just ask my parents. I don’t think of them as “old” and they’re 10-15+ on you.

40 is the new 30!

Most Life Insurance is B/S..It’s written and underwritten by companies ( AIG ) comes to mind, that know the odds are always in their favor. Just like a Casino. For instance you get old and need SSI or a program of any type that is also public assistance related.

Well you can kiss the Insurance Policy goodbye. They won’t let you keep it. So all the premiums you paid remain with the company. You get ZIP.

This mostly applies to ” Term Life Insurance “

” Whole Life ” like a savings plan is different and more practical. And you won’t see them advertising much on TV. The budget expense plan does not allow for wasteful advertisements.
