Au contraire. Life insurance is nothing but a gamble. The company gambles that you will live long enough to pay premiums to make the final payment easy for them. You are gambling that your monthly premium will pay off more than some other investment will.

Absoloutely, positively wrong. At least in my case. When my financial obligation to the welfare of my wife and children was finished, my need for life insurance was finished. There simply was no other way I could guarantee they would be provided for.

Sure, where there is no one you wish to benefit from your demise.

But that does not change in the least the argument that buying life insurance is indeed a gamble with a financial payoff. That was Doug's definition of a sin.
