I heartily agree with you. I just think if folk put the same amount into an interest account they would have more money by the time they died and ALL of the money would be the families and not some already rich-enough insurance company.

I know one close to me chap who started buying every readers digest offer they sent him just to win something or other as he felt overly compelled by their advertising to leave something substantial to his family. Needless to say all those amazing books sold on promises of prizes only ended up in the charity shop. I wish there was an older services ombudsman that could regulate that sector.
