Life Insurance

During a recent meeting with our financial advisor we were discussing the practicality of life insurance.  He said as long as we had enough other assets to cover funeral expenses that life insurance really wasn't the best investment strategy.

Without hesitation, I told him I'd get back to him in about 9 months but until then I wanted to keep my life insurance in effect.  

I'm not much of a gambler, but if I can leave my kids each with a nice amount of money for only a small monthly premium until then - I'll take that risk.
