Understanding Life Insurance Coverage
Life insurance can often feel overwhelming, with numerous questions arising about coverage and costs. How much coverage is necessary? What will it cost? Can my beneficiaries maintain a comfortable lifestyle? What's the difference between cash value and term life insurance? And, importantly, which option is the most affordable?
Cash Value Life Insurance Policies
Cash value life insurance, including universal and whole life policies, offers both a death benefit and a tax-deferred savings component. Often called permanent life insurance, these policies are designed to last a lifetime.
Premiums for these policies are generally higher than those for term life insurance because part of the premium is invested. The cash value can be borrowed or received if the policy is surrendered, making it beneficial for retirement or college funding. These funds grow tax-deferred until withdrawal, at which point they may be partially taxable. However, loans and withdrawals reduce both the cash value and the death benefit.
Simplifying Life Insurance
Term life insurance is straightforward, providing coverage for a specific period. If the policyholder dies during this term, the policy pays out a death benefit. Policies often allow for renewal up to ages 65 or even 100.
Term life insurance is especially appealing to younger buyers because it offers substantial coverage at a lower cost. Premiums start low and increase with age. For example, a $250,000 death benefit costs less in your 30s than in your 50s, making term life more cost-effective for short-term or finite insurance needs.
