Yes, that's techincally true for us as well. I did not compare a term policy and a whole life policy, pick the term and invest the cost difference. I picked the term and invested above and beyond that. We currently invest 21% of my gross and 50% of my wife's gross. I'm sure that is way more than what whole life would cost us.
