    Life Insurance is and should be a part of your over all financial planning package, but keep in mind that Life Insurance is primarily a protection vehicle and not an investment vehicle per se.  Granted there can be some financial benefits that certain types of permanent life policies can provide, but Life insurance should be viewed as an integral part of a over all plan, not a plan in and of itself.
