After you die, the ROI is negative so its not a good deal

It is a worse deal when you are alive. They are betting you will live and you are betting you will die. Better hope you are wrong.  :)

Regardless of other considerations, my final line for cancelling life insurance is when I have confirmed immortality.

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

When nobody is relying on you to support them. Supporting yourself is irrelevant since when you die you need no support. Aside, of course, for a small fund for burial related expenses.

Basically, when you retire, if done properly, you should have all the money you'll need for the rest of your life. From that point and on, you should have no need for life insurance.

No such thing. All WL are projected returns and they never materialize.

There are guarantees to some WL policies.

Despite what most insurance agents will try to tell you, it's not usually a good idea to tie your investments to your LI policy.

Unfortunately, most people don't have the discipline to invest properly when they are not "required to" by a WL policy.

The mistake was made over 30 years ago. Now say your policy is increasing over 5% with no premiums due. Would you cash it in?

There are many other factors that need to be evaluated including alternative investment vehicles.

If you have a no risk one that pays 5%+ I am all ears.
