Types of life insurance generally fall into two categories…
term life insurance and permanent life insurance.
Term life insurance
Term life insurance provides protection for a specific period
of time (the term). This is often 10, 20 or 30 years. Term life
insurance makes sense when you need protection for a
specific amount of time… for instance, until your kids
graduate from college or your mortgage is paid off.
Term life insurance typically offers the most amount of
coverage for the lowest initial premium. This makes this type
of life insurance policy a good choice for those on a tighter
budget.
Permanent life insurance
Permanent life insurance provides lifelong protection for as
long as you pay the premiums. It also accumulates cash
value on a tax-deferred basis, which you can tap into to buy
a home, supplement your retirement income, cover an
emergency expense and more.
Because of these additional benefits, initial premiums are
higher than what you’d pay for a term life insurance policy
with the same amount of coverage.
You Might Want a Mix
Depending on your circumstances and financial goals,
sometimes a combination of term and permanent insurance
is the answer. Get an idea of the types of life insurance
