Doing the Right Thing

None. Why would you want to put insurance and savings together? That makes your policy very expensive and if you die, you lose all the cash value. (If you don't believe me, you can ask any insurance company themselves. Don't ask agent because his/her job is to trick you into buying it).
If you want tax-deferred investments, invest into a Roth IRA.
If you want tax-deductible, invest into a Traditional IRA (however, you may owe taxes by the end of the year) |

The factors that would determine that vary depending on a person's circumstances. Your income is one factor. Your net worth is another factor. Number of dependents. Age. Things like that . |

The best thing you can do is get an inexpensive term policy, say a $500k policy that covers you for 30-35 years. Premiums are going to depend primarily on your age, health and family health history, but they are going to be a lot lower than a whole life policy's premiums.
On the other hand, someone here suggested you open up a Roth IRA, and I second that. It is the best way to save tax free for retirement, since the money you put in has already been taxed. |

Simple....a life insurance policy is not a very good tax saving and investment idea.
A life insurance policy should only be used to guarantee a source of income for anybody whom you care about. If you have a spouse/kids to support you should buy the maximum amount of term insurance you can afford take whatever savings you got from avoiding buying the very high commission universal life and other whole life policies and putting that into higher risk, higher yielding investments. |

There are too many factors that determine what is the best policy and what is the best approach.
Go talk to a licensed financial planner in your area. Expect to pay a fee to get answers to YOUR situation.
Good Luck |

If you are tolerant of risk then check into a variable universal life. If you are risk adverse stick with a guaranteed return of premium in a whole life which would have low returns along with no risk. |

Do not buy life insurance for investment or tax savings. Buy it only to protect loved ones. The cheapest insurance is usually decreasing term. Many financial experts suggest that you should buy this term insurance and invest the rest that you would have used for whole life. |

Well, selection of a particular policy depends upon various factors like your financial objectives, the amount of your premium that you can afford etc. So without knowing such factors it would be difficult to decide which policy suits you the best.However nowadays the hot selling insurance product is ULIP which is quite different from the traditional insurance products.And as far as tax factor is concerned almost all the policies, including ULIP, offer tax benefit. |
