Personal Finance (Not Investing) • Am I trapped in Whole Life Insurance?

$

Not pretty.
71 years old. I have been paying about 3K per year for many many years (blindly) into a 200K universal whole life policy. Cash value is 43K at this point pays 4.20% dividend - but the premium each year has now gone up to 4K.

I know. Its ugly. But what to do from here?
Do I need the insurance at this point? No.
But, if I pull out the 43K it won't grow to 200K before I kick the bucket. Premium is drawn from the cash pile but I'm sure it will keep going up.

I have read many posts on this topic, but it is individual to everyone and their age and circumstance, so I appreciate your thoughts. Particularly, Stinky. :happy
