Whole life insurance
Insurance plus a savings component, usually expensive for what it does.
Where it is explained in full
Whole life insurance: what it is, who uses it, and the arithmetic nobody shows you. A life insurance policy that also holds a savings account inside it. It is sold to almost everyone and it fits a few people well. This page explains how it works and how to tell which you are, and it never tells you what to buy.
A definition says what a thing is; it never says whether it fits you. The guides explain how it works and name the professional who confirms it for a particular person. The No Advice Disclosure.
