Life Insurance 101
Learn the fundamentals of life insurance to help determine what is best for you.
Permanent Life
is also known as whole life because it is designed to last your entire life. It also builds a cash value so you simply can not out live the death benefit.
Term Life
is also known as pure insurance because it has only the death benefit and no cash value. When the amount of time the term is set for ends, unless you are willing to pay a much higher premium, your policy ends.
Variable Life
is a scary variation of Life insurance. It is the only version of life insurance that can actually lose money and reduce the death benefit. If this is the direction you want to go, be sure to work with a seasoned Certified Financial Planner (CFP).
Universal Life
There are hundreds of variations of term and permanent, but the most popular is Universal Life. This is also one of the most abused variations of life insurance. If you are working with an agent who is proposing a Universal Life policy, please work with a professional who knows what they are doing. Don’t work with a rookie as it is too easy to make a costly mistake. Universal Life is a great product if you design it correctly.
