Life Insurance Basics

There are two main types of life insurance: term and whole life.

Term life insurance is the most basic and straightforward kind. You choose how long you want the policy to last (usually 10-30 years), and as long as you pay the premiums, the policy will pay out a death benefit to your beneficiaries if you die during that term.

Whole life insurance is a bit more complicated, but basically it’s a type of permanent life insurance. That means as long as you continue to pay the premiums, your policy will never expire and your beneficiaries will always receive a death benefit. Whole life policies also build up cash value over time, which you can borrow against or cash out if you need to.

There are a few other things to consider when choosing a life insurance policy, like how much coverage you need and what kind of rider (add-on) options you want. But the most important thing is just to make sure you have some kind of life insurance in place. It’s one of the best ways to protect your loved ones financially if something happens to you.
