Which Insurance is Best For You, Term Life Or Whole Life?

We all have to come face to face with the reality that we are going to die some day. Many of us avoid the thought of that prospect on a daily basis. If we want to take care of our family after we are gone then we need to take steps to assure that our finances will be stable in the event of our death. This either means a very large retirement fund or a significant investment in life insurance. There are a number of life insurance types but the two that most people have heard of will be discussed in this article. What are the features and benefits of term life versus whole life insurance?

One of the differences between whole life and term life is the premiums. Term life insurance will cost less per one hundred thousand dollars than whole life as term life insurance only pays out in the case of death of the covered person. Whole life builds up cash value over time so their has to be a greater premium to build that cash value and still offer the death benefit as well. Term premiums are usually locked in for a set period of time - five, ten, fifteen or even twenty years so that you are not shocked when you turn a milestone age and the premiums get jacked up. While whole life premiums, as stated previously, are always higher than term premiums they remain constant as long as you maintain the policy.

Another difference between the two is that the cash value built up during the whole life policy can be used and borrowed against at any time. Term life merely takes your premium and the only time you or your family gets anything back is if you die. The main consideration in term life versus whole life is how long you want or need to hold the policy. If you want or need a policy for less than ten years then term life is the obvious choice for insurance. If you need coverage for over twenty years then whole life is the obvious choice. The hard decision comes if the coverage period is between ten and twenty years. You will need to assess your insurance needs and the possible times when your death would cause the most problem. For example if you have a child who will be going to college in three years and college costs will be over $20,000 a year then you will need a term policy that will provide your annual salary plus the college costs for at least the next three years.

If you are financially stable and a conservative investor then a traditional whole life policy will offer you the security of a great death benefit, cash value building up in the policy and the possibility of off-setting your premium or increasing the cash value even more via dividends when your policy performs better than the market. Figure out how long you need insurance and make your decision.
