Understanding the Difference Between Term and Permanent Life Insurance

Term insurance is like renting while permanent insurance is like owning. Term insurance provides coverage for a specified period, typically 20 years, and the premiums and death benefit remain level. However, most term policies are not kept until the end, leading to overpayment. Permanent insurance, on the other hand, is designed to last a lifetime. It includes options like whole life insurance, which has guarantees, and universal life insurance, which does not have guarantees. Variable universal life insurance allows you to invest in sub-accounts tied to the stock market.
