I bought a Northwestern Mutual term policy back in college, $500k in coverage, I pay $26/month on it ~ 15 years later. Term policies will skyrocket in monthly payments at older ages though, so you pretty much need to be able to self-insure (real estate, businesses, etc), and walk away from it. From the research I’ve done, they are one of the best companies, and will even pay out in the event of a suicide after 2 years of payments.
Wife has a whole life policy with $1 million in coverage, premium is ~ $600/month, but it has some substantial advantages from a non life insurance standpoint. It is commonly used as a tax shelter, you can pause payments, pull money out of it to purchase land, companies, whatever (it does decrease the payout), and it will pay out the full coverage amount if you become permanently disabled.
