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, you can buy coverage 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.
