[net.invest] Insurance Policy Info Needed

rdz@ccice5.UUCP (Robert D. Zarcone) (04/03/85)

I recently bought an insurance policy with the intent of using the
cash value each year to finance an IRA (this is what the policy is
designed for).  A representative from a competing company then showed
me a policy that had a premium about two-thirds of what I am now
paying and told me I had really been taken.  Her policy was "Unit Life"
while the one I have is "Whole Life".  Before I make another payment
and make a bad deal worse, I need to know if I really have a bad deal.
Can anyone suggest where I might get OBJECTIVE advice on my current
policy?  Does anyone have experience with this type of arangement?

Make that "Universal", not "Unit" Life.
