Term life insurance has become of the most popular ways to provide coverage for yourself and your family. Term life is much less expensive than traditional whole life insurance. This type of life insurance coverage is good for a designated period of time or "term", such as a 10 year term or 20 year term policy. You can also purchase what is known as "guaranteed renewable term life", which, once purchased, will be renewable again and again for as long as you maintain the premium payments on the policy.

Example, let's say that you purchase a guaranteed renewable term life policy for a 10 year period and discover five years later that you are now insulin-dependent diabetic. As long as you continue to make your premium payments on time and in full, it won't affect your status with the insurance company at all. Because it is guaranteed renewable, you'll be able to to roll it over as long as you need too.

Unlike whole life insurance, term life offers no cash value. This is not necessarily a disadvantage, because you can actually use the money that you're saving to invest in other things, either now or in the future.

If you're considering purchasing life insurance for yourself, your family, or both, a highly recommend that you take a look at investing in a term life insurance policy. These policies are very affordable and the coverage will begin immediately, once your premium payment is made. No more worries, no more hassles. This may be the inexpensive insurance coverage that would be just right for your family.
