Life Insurance

What’s the difference between term life insurance and permanent life insurance?

Term life insurance is for if you die too soon. Permanent life insurance is for when you die.

Put another way, it’s the difference between renting and owning. Term life insurance (renting) protects the people who rely on you—and this type of insurance can fulfill a profound need during your working life. Permanent life insurance (the type of insurance you own) lasts beyond your working years and can be used as collateral for a loan, as a means of building tax-efficient wealth, and as a seamless way to leave a legacy.
