Life insurance is one of the biggest investments a person can make. Purchasing the policy is not a big expense, but the impact of having life insurance when you pass away is a large one. By purchasing a life insurance policy, you can ensure that those close to you will be able to live comfortably when you are gone. Life Insurance provides money to whoever you designate as a “beneficiary” upon your death. This money can prove to be a much needed asset if your loved ones are faced with the burdens of debt, funeral costs, estate taxes or college tuition upon your passing. If you are interested in purchasing life insurance, you should know that you have several options. A variety of life insurance policies are available, with the most popular being “term life” and “whole life”. Term life is typically your most simple and inexpensive option and allows you to purchase coverage for a specific price for a specified period. If you die during that time, your beneficiary receives the value of the policy. Whole life is similar to term, but allows you to purchase a policy that covers your “whole life”- not just a set period. Both individual and group life insurance policies are available, with group life typically being offered through an employer.
