PruActive Life? Is it worth it?

I am 23 male non-smoker and was quoted $3.9k/yr for whole life policy. The benefits are $100k sum assured with 5x multiplier until 65, 25 years pay; with 100k & 50k sum assured crisis care & early crisis care respectively, also 5x multiplier with 25 yrs pay. Is it worth it? I am currently a student and get $2.8k a month. Thanks in advance!

Otherwise, glad to see someone of my age doing good with what they have, hope you get the answers you need here!

Cheers!
