Is Life Insurance A Good Investment? 
You know , and maybe it is just a difference in interpretation , but I have never looked upon Life Insurance as an investment vehicle . Life insurance is designed to provide financial protection for you in the event that you die early . It is a legacy of love that you can leave for your family . That having been said , permanent forms of Life Insurance do provide some level or type of cash accumulation that grows over the years and is not taxable so long as the proceeds stay in the policy . That along with other investment vehicles can provide a nioce growing nest egg while the real benefit of the Life Insurance is to protect that .
