When did you purchase this policy and if you cashed out today what will you get verses what you have invested? What is the surrender charge to get your money back? I Stupidly bought an annuity from one of the highest rated companies around and offered a 7% guarantee. Never in reality saw anything close to that.
No, I got 8.75….
4% guaranteed + 5.75% dividends.
If I cash out today, I’ll be around 7k more per year that what I’ve put on.
Also look at how much Mutual life insurance companies have paid in the last 34yrs.
