In Pierce County, Washington, which includes Tacoma and much of Joint Base Lewis-McChord, whole life insurance tends to come up when the goal shifts from covering a set number of years to leaving something behind no matter when you die. Participating whole life policies from some mutual insurers may pay dividends, though dividends are never guaranteed. In two-income households, it often makes sense to price whole life insurance for both partners, since losing either paycheck could strain the budget. Surrendering a policy early can mean getting back less than you paid in, because of surrender charges and the slow early build-up of cash value. Retirees in Pierce County who no longer need income replacement may still want whole life to cover final costs or to even out an inheritance among heirs.
