Choosing Between Term and Whole Life Insurance
Understanding the differences to secure your family’s financial future.

Life insurance is one of those things we should include for a solid financial plan. These can give you peace of mind. You know your family and loved ones will be taken care of if something happens to you. There are typically two main types of life insurance: term life insurance and whole life insurance. Knowing the differences between them is key to making the best choice for your needs.
What is Life Insurance?
Life insurance is a contract between you and an insurance company. You pay regular premiums, and in return, the insurer promises to pay a death benefit to your beneficiaries when you pass away. This benefit can help replace lost income and provide the cost of living for your family. The benefit can help pay off debts like your mortgage, cover funeral expenses and attorney fees, as well as provide overall financial stability for your family and loved ones.
Whole Life Insurance offers Lifetime Coverage with a Price
What is it? Whole life insurance gives you coverage for the rest of your life, as long as you keep paying premiums. It also has a cash value component that grows over time, which you can borrow against or take out.
Term Life Insurance is Simple and Affordable
What is it? Term life insurance offers coverage for a specific period of time, usually between 10 and 30 years. If you pass away during the term, your beneficiaries get the death benefit. If you outlive the policy, coverage ends unless you renew it.
