Life insurance generally falls into two main categories.
Term Insurance
Provides coverage for a specific period, such as:
10 years
20 years
30 years
35 years
Example:
A $500,000 term policy may cost significantly less per month than permanent coverage.
However, once the term ends, the coverage may expire.
Permanent Insurance
Permanent policies may last for life and may also accumulate cash value.
Examples include:
Whole life
Universal life
Indexed universal life
Permanent policies may serve both protection and long-term planning purposes.
Choosing between term and permanent insurance depends on individual goals, financial plans, and long-term strategy.
