Life insurance is a way to protect your beneficiaries from falling behind financially in the event of your untimely death. But depending on the type of policy you take out, life insurance can do much more than provide a theoretical financial safety net. For example, whole life insurance provides a guaranteed cash payout that you may be able to tap into while you're still alive.    But whole life insurance is much more expensive than traditional term life insurance, which simply grants a death benefit to your loved ones if you die during the set term.  Term and whole life insurance come with their own benefits and drawbacks, and the type of policy you need depends on how you plan on using it.
