Term 100 Life Insurance While the name of this type of policy includes the word term, Term 100 life insurance is a form of permanent life insurance that is meant to last until you reach the age of 100 years. Therefore, it means that your premiums are constant throughout your entire life. They’ll never go down, nor up. That being said, the benefits of this policy are pretty straightforward. Its premiums are fixed allowing you to budget your expenses easily. Nonetheless, it’s worth noting that in the event you cancel your policy, term 100 life insurance doesn’t offer you any surrender value. The Benefits of a Term 100 Policy A Term 100 Life Insurance policy is ideal if you...

Is Term Life Insurance for You? Term insurance is the simplest form of life insurance. It provides temporary life insurance protection on a limited budget.

The person would have to reapply to receive any future benefit. Fast Fact: Four-in-ten people who purchased life insurance in 2016 purchased term life insurance. Unlike permanent insurance, term...

Should term life insurance be purchased based on your current earnings or future, projected earnings? I usually recommend that people have 10 to 12 times their current annual income in a good, level term life insurance policy. But if you have a solid reason to project that your income will jump significantly in the near future, there’s nothing wrong with basing the amount of life insurance coverage on that figure — as long as you can afford it. Now, when I say a solid reason, I’m not talking about having an attitude of, “I’m smart, so I’m going to make tons more money soon.” That’s ego, not reason. But if you’re in a residency finishing your medical degree, you can realistically look at...
