Friday, April 17th, 2009It’s a good idea you are considering life insurance to protect your children in case something happens to you.
There are two basic types of life insurance: Term life and Permanent life insurance.
Permanent life insurance usually costs 2-3 times more than term, and provides lifetime coverage that builds cash value within the policy. As long as you pay your premiums the coverage will remain in force.
Term life insurance is much less expensive. It provides temporary life insurance for a specific number of years from 1-30 years. If you need the most life insurance at the lowest price for a temporary period of time up to 30 years, this may be an option for you.
If you outlive the term of your term life policy, the coverage expires. Term life does not build cash value within the policy, it is pure life insurance protection.
You may want to consider 20 or 30 year level term life insurance that provides a guaranteed level rate and coverage amount for the term of your policy.
I hope that helps. Best of luck to you and your family.Plan your budget with your insurance adviser and work out the best for you and your family. see reliaquote.com life insurance calculator and see it for yourself
