Stuck with endowment plan with policy term of 88 years (maturity at age 120)?

Was buying an endowment plan at age 32 with a policy term of 88 years a really bad idea? I am married but with no kids. Premium term is 10 years and I have paid up one year but really tempted to surrender the plan which would mean loss of almost 8k. Either that or deal with $ being locked up for my imaginary children.. any advice?
I'm starting to build on bond/equity investing and also already have other whole life/term life insurance policies.

Honestly, I feel that all endowment plans are bad ideas. It is mostly for someone who isnt discipline and need their money locked up to prevent them from spending. And most of the lock up period should be tilll your retiremment age. I believe that investing would yield you much higher returns in the long run. You will need to check with your advisor what is the breakeven age that you can withdraw your money, and I would suggest to withdraw and put into your own investments instead.

Hi, I'm 28 years old, planning to put my money somewhere instead of bank. Should I do short term endowment plan (10 to 20 years) or long term (until 100 years of age)? Or retirement plan? Thank you?

From the policy illustration of an endowment plan, under the final year which shows the maturity value based on 2 illustrated rates, is the total amount inclusive of performance and maturity bonus?

My father's (59) lump sum endowment plan is maturing on Aug this year. Term is 10 years. Principal: 37k, Sum Assured: 45.5k Net Cash Value: 54k. Any advice if he should continue putting or to take out?

What is the best endowment plan with +-95 years policy term?

Is it a better for us to get an endowment that provides a lump sum maturity or a retirement plan that provides stream of income for a number of years? Which would be more effective in terms of return?
