Life Insurance: Securing Your Future
Summary
Life insurance is a crucial component of financial planning. It can help you meet financial goals or simply provide protection. Understanding your needs and available options ensures you get the best value for your coverage.
Determining Your Coverage Needs
Start by assessing how much coverage you need and what you can afford. Often, these figures may not align perfectly. If you have a young family, prioritize obtaining maximum coverage at the best price, usually through term life insurance, which suits most people.
Choosing the Right Type of Life Insurance
Decide between term and permanent life insurance policies. Term life insurance covers you for a specific period, typically 10, 20 years, or up to age 100 in Canada.
Permanent life insurance, which includes whole life and universal life, offers death benefits and a cash value component. You can access this cash by cashing in the policy or borrowing against it. However, whole life insurance is generally advisable only if the premium is comparable to term insurance, typically in your sixties or later. Otherwise, you incur higher premiums for the same coverage, and borrowing incurs interest charges.
Understanding Whole vs. Universal Life Insurance
Whole life insurance includes savings within the premium itself. In contrast, universal life insurance allows you to add investments if desired. Without additional investments, universal life is essentially an expensive term-to-100 policy.
Key Takeaway
Stay informed about the life insurance you choose. Always check the financial strength of the companies backing your policies. By being aware and informed, you safeguard your future and maximize the benefits of your life insurance.
