Nobody can predict the ultimate direction of USD but i thought you should want to know that USD is the world's currency accounting for 80% of the global trade (i.e commodities such as Oil are exchanged and valued in USD) therefore you wont see it dissapearing anytime soon like the banana notes.

For pragmatic sake, do you already hold USD that are not being utilized? Unless you are willing to go through the trouble of setting up foreign currency bank accounts to hold and make premium payment in USD and the corresponding TT, USD cheque book costs that comes with maintaining a USD policy/bank account.

I'm looking to improve my CI protection through a Life Insurance policy. At 47 years old, would it make more sense to get a term or whole life policy?

Is term life or whole life better? Should I buy term life and invest the rest? I heard term life is cheaper but need to keep paying, whereas whole life just pay for x number of years and get covered eternally?

I bought a whole life policy about 20 years ago that requires premiums to be paid till age 85. Should I switch to a term or limited pay whole life policy to reduce financial burden in old age?

22, on full uni scholarship with annual allowances. Already have a whole life (230k SA @1.3k/yr)+SAF GTL (200k). Is it a good idea to get a new whole life policy with early CI rider for purpose of the latter? What are my options and their pros/cons?

My parents bought a whole life policy 23 years ago for me and I would like to get some advice on policies that were purchased a long time ago. Would older policies have higher accumulated bonuses?
