Life insurance is a financial safety net that is intended to shield your loved ones in times of need, not just to pay out after you pass away. The stability of your family during life’s most trying times can be ensured with the right policy, which can help with living expenses, debt repayment, education funding, and retirement goals.
At FFJ Insurance Group, we recognize how difficult it can be to select the best policy. In order to streamline the process, weigh your options, and assist you in making an informed choice, we collaborate closely with both individuals and families.
The Two Main Types of Life Insurance
When you initially start investigating life insurance, you will predominantly need to choose between term and permanent life insurance.
Term life insurance insures you for a specific period of time such as 10, 20, or 30 years. It is often the cheapest way of getting high coverage and is ideal for short-term needs like paying off a mortgage or income protection while you are still working.
Permanent life insurance will insure you for your lifetime as long as premiums are paid. In addition to simply providing a death benefit, Whole Life and Indexed Universal Life (IUL) build cash value over time.
Term Life Insurance: Affordable and Straightforward
Sure it’s popular with young families, first-time homebuyers and everyone else wanting the most coverage for the least price – term life insurance. Premiums are established for the term, making it easy to plan your finances.
What’s the downside? Unless you renew, your coverage ends at the termination of the term, and renewal premiums will be higher (typically due to age or health changes).
Whole Life Insurance: Lifetime Stability
Permanent coverage with guaranteed premiums and a guaranteed rate of growth in cash value is offered by whole life insurance. For long-term financial plans like estate planning, leaving a legacy, or offering dependents lifetime protection, this makes it perfect.
Whole life insurance policies offer predictable growth and the assurance that your coverage will never expire, even though their premiums are typically higher than those of term insurance.
Indexed Universal Life (IUL): Flexibility and Growth Potential
Indexed universal life (IUL) policies provide the opportunity for increased cash value growth, while also providing lifetime protection. With floors and caps protecting your policy from market losses and allowing growth in good years, the growth is linked to an index of a stock market, such as the S&P 500.
IULs can be adaptable, and can be configured to achieve a number of objectives, including tax-advantaged saving, college savings, retirement planning, and other goals. You also have the ability to change your premiums and death benefits as your situation changes.
Choosing the Right Policy for Your Family
When choosing a policy type, consider the following:
Budget: How much can you afford to spend on premiums?
Duration of Need: Are you covered for life or for a predetermined amount of time?
Financial Objectives: Do you want your policy to help you accumulate wealth or just protect your family?
Your responses will be used to assess the suitability of an IUL, whole life, or term policy.
