I would like to ask if that is about right, or am I spending too much? (As at the end of the day, other than my whole life plan, there is no cash value to all my other policies..)

I've always thought that MediShield Life + a good premium rider policy would suffice in most cases, and riders are relatively inexpensive and can be paid for with CPF.

And as for "life insurance" plans, just beware that the companies will find some way to screw around you and pay you an absolutely crap return on your policy's maturity in spite of what was "projected" when you first signed.

Source: parents' life insurance policy matured. Return was 3% (yes, TOTAL returns) over 30 years, needless to say extremely horribly off the projected target returns.
