Maybe I just don’t understand what they’re doing. BUt it seems to me if I take out a 10 year policy that costs $100 per month, I’m betting that I’m going to die within that period of time and the company is betting that I won’t or that they won’t have to pay out. If I get to the end of that 10 year term, then I’m just out $12,000. What am I missing?
