Whole life Insurance
I have a Met Life Whole Life Insurance policy on myself. Annualized premium is 489.00.
Total Current Death Benefit: 61,640.92 (2020).
Total Current Cash Surrender Value is 17,943.21 (2020).
I dont need it for funeral or leaving it to loved ones.
I am 56 y/o, single, 1 adult child.
Should I continue to pay into this or cash out the surrender value and invest it?

You forgot an important use of a whole life policy: You can BORROW from it! And since you’re alone, you might want to borrow down the road to fund a private nursing home! Something to consider before giving up the tax-deferred growth. And your adult child might need the death benefit — or put the money to good use for his or her own child, saying Grandpa paid for your college education (or part of it!).
