I have some doubt as to the description of the first item, 20/10 Term. Generally speaking, the economy has little to do with the INCREASE in the premium of a Term Life Insurance policy. The COST of the contract IS based upon your AGE. That is what determines the initial cost. IF this contract were as stated, and the economy remained FLAT for 20 years, then the premium is alleged to remain the same for the second 10 year period. Since we KNOW that the COI for ANY Life Insurance policy INCREASES EVERY year, then it would appear quite OBVIOUSE that the premium that you would pay during the FIRST 10 years is MUCH too high, to compensate for the second 10 yrs.........

The trick is to figure out what you are trying to protect, and then design the insurance to meet that need. Insurance is not like a lottery ticket where you buy it and hope to collect the money. -john- -- ================================================== ================== John A.
