Understanding Your Life Insurance Options

Two main paths, depending on what you're protecting and for how long.

TERM

Term Life Insurance

Coverage for a set period — 10, 20, or 30 years. Lower cost, with a payout if you pass away within the term. Good fit if you want affordable, flexible protection.

PERMANENT

Permanent / Whole Life

Coverage for your entire life, with a guaranteed death benefit, level premiums, and cash value that grows over time. Good fit if you want lifelong coverage.

💡

Your income is probably your family's biggest asset

Most people insure their car and home but forget to insure their paycheck. Life insurance replaces that income so your family can cover the mortgage, bills, and everyday life if something happens to you.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the real difference between term and permanent life insurance?

Term covers you for a set number of years at a lower cost. Permanent life covers your entire lifetime, costs more, and builds cash value you can potentially borrow against.

How much life insurance coverage do I actually need?

A common starting point is 10–12 times your annual income, adjusted for debts, future expenses like college, and any existing savings. We'll help you run the numbers for your situation.

Do I need a medical exam to qualify?

Some policies require one, especially for larger amounts of coverage; others offer simplified or guaranteed-issue options with little to no medical underwriting.

Can I change my policy later?

Many term policies can convert to permanent coverage without a new medical exam, and you can typically adjust coverage amounts as your needs change over time.

What does the payout actually cover?

Beneficiaries can use it for anything — common uses include paying off a mortgage, covering funeral costs, replacing lost income, or funding a child's education.

Is life insurance through work enough on its own?

Employer coverage is often modest (like 1x salary) and doesn't follow you if you leave the job. A personal policy fills that gap and stays with you.
