4 Advantages of Term Life Insurance

 

Here's why term life insurance can be a good fit, particularly for young families on

a budget.

Navigating the ins and outs of all the different types of life insurance can seem

intimidating, especially if you’re buying your first policy. That’s why many shoppers

choose term life insurance. It’s a good fit for most people, particularly young families

on a budget looking for temporary coverage. 

 

Here are four advantages to term life insurance...

 

1. Less expensive

On average, life insurance rates are more affordable for term than whole life

insurance because term policies offer coverage for a predetermined time. If you

outlive the term and the policy expires, your beneficiaries don’t receive the 

death benefit, so it’s less of a risk to the insurer. Whole life insurance premiums, 

by comparison, are higher because the policies pay out no matter when you die.

All of the best life insurance companies sell term life.

 

2. More flexible

You have many options when choosing how long your term life insurance should

last.  Typically for 10, 15, 20, 25 or 30 years. If you’re the breadwinner and want

a policy to cover your mortgage, a 30-year term might be a better match. 

These needs disappear over time, and so might your need for a policy.

 

3. Good for young families

Because term life covers only a specific period and is generally less expensive

than permanent life insurance (whole life), it’s a great choice for young families

looking for temporary coverage. For example, you can buy a policy to cover the

years your family relies on you financially, and lower your coverage when your

children become self-sufficient.

 

4. Simplicity

Term life insurance is easy to understand, which makes it simple to shop for and

compare life insurance quotes. As long as you pay the premium, you’re covered

for the duration of the policy. You need to make only three main decisions...

how much life insurance coverage you need, how long you want the coverage to

last and which insurer you want to do business with.

For many people, term life insurance is a simple, affordable way to safeguard the

financial health of loved ones if something happens to them.
