life insurance

I'm running out of FMLA and have some decisions to make. i had a big life insurance policy through work, but i'll need to come up with $700/month to maintain it. it sounds like a lot of money, but even if i survive another decade, which does not seem likely, its worth it to my beneficiaries...

After a couple of months of trying - next week I will be getting my "accelerated" life insurance benefit. I have State Farm Ins and Whole Life policy. Ended up I had to take it as a loan but will end up getting $120,000. Plenty to pay off my bills and do what home modifications I need for the...
