OTOTOT (term life vs VUL)

>>>>>IF you are going to buy life insurance AT ALL term is the way to go.

Have you heard about VUL which allows you to invest your
money while taking advantage of the term benefit? I have
recently trying to understand this more since there are
2 agents trying to sell me this. Does anybody have any
opinion on VUL vs term life?

My understanding is you pay money more than term life but
the portion which covers the term life plus some percentage
(5.5% to 8%) of your new money will be used to pay the
fees and some kind of tax. There is also small amount of
administration fee ($20+) per month. The rest will be used
to invest in mutual fund(s). If you die, your beneficiary
get all the insured amount plus the cash value or you
take the money out at later stage.

It is quite complicated to me and I just wonder if anyone
have experience with this.

TIA
