Gerber is generally expensive I just paid 43 bucks for two kids for up to 50K until they are 65 or they call pull out about 22K when they are 18 reducing the death benefit

[@bestlifenow777]

Best life insurance commercial ever!

[@Mslovely42]

So once my child turns 18 all the money I invested, can she get that to help towards college or something else?

[@Timber1205]

It all depends on what your goals are.. If your developing a family bank, whole life is the way to go

What’s a guardianship insurance till my child is 18 ? If you don’t mind answering? This is a good question that I want to know and also why you make videos where people could comment and you don't answer them that don't mean no sense you have only 17 comments is that like you're busy why make videos if you can't respond to your viewers

Its a scam had for grandchild who reached 21. Their thieves Gerber and Erie screwed us

[@randompickle5522]

U probably only had term life instead of whole life

[@MaryLopez-bv7ks]

I do not understand how child can use it for college

[@elaniacordova]

By taking out the cash Value

[@jacquelinereed5689]

Wow. I’m gonna cancel all 7 policies for my grandchildren and look into the 529 savings plan. Thanks for the heads up

[@LemmyGibbler]

I’d talk with your advisor before doing so. If any of the 7 decide not to go to college it could backfire. They’re great plans but not perfect for everyone! 👍

[@Tkh21209]

College is useless in the future

Gerber life is the worst you can get by far
