What is life insurance?
Life insurance is needed for the �what ifs� in life. What if my family was injured in a car accident? What if I lost my job? What if I died unexpectedly? Life insurance is there to provide financial help to those affected by the �what if� situations.
Term life insurance and whole life insurance
There are two types of life insurance: term life and whole life. Term life insurance provides coverage for a limited period of time. After that period, policyholders typically pay increased premiums to continue coverage. Term life insurance is usually less expensive than whole life. The specifics of your life -- your age, income, and other factors -- will help determine which type of and how much life insurance is most appropriate for you. If the loss of your income would negatively impact those who depend on you, it may be prudent to add a term life policy to a whole life policy. Term life insurance can also help your family financially if you should die during your peak earnings and asset accumulation years. Your need for term life insurance dwindles as you near retirement, which is when you have likely accumulated enough wealth to live on and your children are no longer dependent on your income. From retirement to the end of your life, you typically no longer need term life insurance if you have whole life coverage in place to help pay for your final expenses.
