now reasonable to sell your whole life insurance policy to the highest bidder and take a loot settlement, called the life settlement, and use it for whatever purpose that fits your circumstances.

However, before going down this avenue I recommend that you consider your alternatives. Meditate about it, there would be no such thing such thing as a life settlement industry if there wasn't a ton of wealth to be made switching old policies for new - which is the goal of the industry after all.

For them keeping the life insurance policies on the books is the single most profitable thing they can do.
