People have been taught to look at Whole Life as an investment, so they do! And when the returns aren't flashy like stocks, funds, and precious metals they ignore Whole Life and pour their money into something else. But it's a mistake to think of Whole Life and investments as an "either/or" proposition. Because the truth is: you don't have to choose just one. In this episode I'll explain the right...
