Let me tell you the biggest mistake I see people make when it comes to life insurance.
They pick a product based on what they heard someone else has instead of what actually fits their life. A coworker mentioned term life so they get term life. A family member has whole life so they assume that's what they need too. Nobody ever sat down and explained what the difference actually is or why one might serve them better than the other.
That kind of guessing costs families real money and real protection over time.
Go check it out. And come back here with this. Have you ever made a financial decision based on what someone else had without fully understanding it yourself? Be honest. We've all done it.
