vs permanent , one is cheap but is pure , you do not build cash value, the other is more expensive and builds cash value over time. One is betting you will die, the other is betting you will live.

    The cash values in permanent or whole insurance is pretty small. I’d go term, and inquire about a "return of premium" rider that many insurance companies are offering now. In essence, they give you ALL of your premium money back at the end of the term. At that point, if you still need coverage, you can take that nice chunk of money and buy a paid-up whole life policy.
    Hope this helps!
