Life insurance is perhaps one of the most important investments that a person should make in their life. We insure our vehicles, valuables, trailers, boats, and our homes; why wouldn't we insure our lives? Just think of the chaos and distress that a family would endure upon learning that they have to pay out of pocket for all funeral expenses, and continue on with their lives without the assistance of that extra pay check. No one wants their loved ones to have to go on like this.

There are two main types of life insurance a person can purchase; term and permanent insurance. Both are excellent products, but you need to sit down and determine which one will best satisfy your needs; both short and long term.

The first step is to determine how much life insurance you need. You must consider what your income is versus your debt load and expenses. You need to determine what you need insurance for. This will help you to decide which product is best for you.

Term insurance is a product that is in effect for a specific length of time. This can be anywhere from 5, 10, 20, or 25 years. The premiums are usually less expensive compared to that of permanent insurance. The premiums will remain the same until the end of the term. If the insured dies anywhere within that time; the beneficiary will receive the face value of the policy. It can also be renewed upon expiry.

Term insurance is beneficial for those who want to ensure that they have enough to cover their final funeral expenses, to cover the remaining balance of a mortgage, or to pay for a child's future college or university tuition. This will take a huge financial burden off of the shoulders of remaining family members.

Permanent insurance is effective for the entire life of the insured. It is a combination of an insurance policy and an investment product. Upon death, the beneficiary will receive the face amount of the policy. During the life of the policy, there may also be investments that grow over time and offer another payment. This payment can be used for the beneficiary, or the insured can withdraw dividends and use the money towards other purchases.

Permanent insurance tends to be more expensive than term insurance. Because it is in effect for the entire lifetime of the insured, the insurance companies take into account that as a person ages, their risk of death increases. This is taken into consideration when calculating the premiums.

Every applicant must submit a medical history and undergo a medical exam before they can be insured. They can be accepted, rated, or declined all together. This depends on the results of their medical history. A person with a history of heart problems may pay more in premium, or may be declined.
