On Meridian Life's projection the savings hit zero around 2052. The policy lapses and the $2,000,000 payout stops — after the $239,200 you've paid so far, plus decades more in premiums.
Paying about $4,200 more a year from 2042 closes the gap and carries coverage to age 100. The earlier you start, the smaller the increase.
With no more premiums, the charges drain the savings in about five years. The policy lapses near age 69 (2031) and the $2,000,000 is gone.
