123 - Should I Invest in Whole Life Insurance After Maxing Out My 401k‪?‬ Real Personal Finance

Scott and James discuss if you should invest in Whole Life insurance after maxing out your 401(k).
Listener Question
I was recently advised to get a life insurance retirement plan by my adviser. I currently max out my IRA contribution, FSA, 401k to ~56k and have extra money left over. I’m single and don’t have kids to warrant a life insurance plan per se but it sounded intriguing with the extra cash i have leftover. I comfortably have an extra 3-4 k every month leftover. I’m a bit skeptical of the adviser since he contacted me supposedly from a coworker who gave him my name.
