Buying vs Renting

Here are two videos you can watch to better your understanding.

Term vs Whole Life Insurance

In most situations, buying term life insurance is the better choice.  Whole life insurance "invests" your money, but insurance is not an investment - it's simply insurance.  You only earn, on average, 1-3% when you buy whole insurance.  Whole life insurance also has a much higher monthly cost.  Many financial advisors recommend that you purchase term insurance and invest the difference ways that will earn you a higher interest rate.
