The last piece of the puzzle is choosing which of our three life insurance options is best for you.
Here is additional information that might help.
Many people will choose a term life policy if they need coverage immediately but at a lower cost. The lower initial rates this policy provides mean you can usually purchase more coverage for your dollar. And due to the policy's annually renewable terms, you can adjust your coverage amount by reapplying each year to keep pace with evolving financial needs.
Wondering about the practical applications of term life insurance? Here are two scenarios for you to consider:
You're a stay-at-home parent.
Though your role doesn't bring in income, it's invaluable nonetheless—managing a household and raising children are big responsibilities. You recognize this fact and apply for a life policy.
From chauffeuring your kids to school and extracurricular activities to keeping the family budget on track, the part you play in the life of your loved ones is critically important. Life insurance can help make sure those household management duties continue uninterrupted if you're no longer around.
You are the primary breadwinner for your family.
People buy life insurance to help ensure their family's needs are met.
If you pass away, life insurance can help cover critical expenses when your loved ones may need it most. This can include things like burial costs, tuition, mortgages, and even daily necessities like clothes and groceries.
Life insurance is one way to make sure your family will have help meeting their needs after you're gone.
A 10-year level term life insurance policy is often recommended to take care of longer-term financial obligations you expect to tackle within the next decade, like paying off a mortgage or seeing your children through college.
By locking in your coverage for 10 years up front, rates will remain level throughout your term—meaning your monthly premium won't go up due to age or health problems.
Wondering about the practical applications of 10-year level term life insurance?
Here are two scenarios for you to consider:
You're planning on buying a home.
Buying a house doesn't come cheap. Most people finance the purchase through a mortgage under the assumption they'll be around to keep paying it off for years to come.
Unfortunately, that assumption isn't always accurate. But even if you're no longer around, 10-year level term life insurance can help your remaining family members continue affording the home they love.
You're young.
If you're young and healthy, you may think life insurance won't be necessary until you're older and have a family.
But if you have siblings or relatives you support, life insurance should still be a consideration. And even if you don't, you may have other debts to pay off like school loans or car payments.
If you're thinking of starting a family over the next decade, even better. The younger you are when you buy your insurance, the lower your rates are likely to be. You can save money in the long run by getting a 10-year policy now instead of waiting until you age into a higher rate bracket.
A 20-year level term life insurance policy is a good choice if you're going to have large financial obligations for many years to come. These obligations could include things like raising children, buying a home, and taking care of elderly loved ones.
By locking in your coverage for twenty years up front, rates will remain level throughout your term—meaning your premium won't go up due to age or health problems.

Here are two scenarios for you to consider:
You're a homeowner.
Owning a home is a long-term investment that comes with mortgage payments, upkeep fees, and other costs.
20-year level term life insurance can help make sure your family is able to continue meeting these financial obligations if you're no longer around.
You have elderly loved ones to care for.
Taking care of aging family members can be a real financial burden. Yet you still love them and want to do what you can to help.
A 20-year level term life insurance policy can help ensure your familial elders will continue receiving the healthcare and living assistance they deserve if you're no longer around to provide direct financial support.
