how does life insurance make sense, like how does $40/month for 10 years get you 500,000 life insurance?

The insurance company is betting you’ll still be alive in ten years, and the “*Term Life Insurance*” policy will expire worthless.

They keep your $4,800 and you stay alive. You can renew the policy, but now you’re ten years older and it will cost a lot more.

If you were 75 years old they’d refuse to renew it again – you all know the odds now.

You can get “Whole Life” plans that don’t expire, but they’re much more expensive and function more like an investment account.
