There are four different types of life insurance.
Each with a different price range.
Here's a brief description of each starting with the most expensive and ending with the least expensive.
Universal Universal life insurance is the most expensive for a number of reasons.
Mainly because it has an interest barring account attached to it giving you much more flexibility with your premiums.
Whole Whole life insurance is the next most expensive.
It too comes with an attached interest barring account.
However, you do not get quite as much flexibility with your premiums and savings as you do with Universal life.
Still, both are known as 'permanent' life insurance.
Both are intended to be kept for life.
Now, the two least expensive of the four.
Return of Premium term insurance, (R.
O.
P.
), costs a bit more than Term.
A 20 year R.
O.
P.
Term life policy at $70 per monthly premiums would cost you $16,800 at the end of this policies term.
However, with an R.
O.
P.
Term life policy, you would get back that entire $16,800 in premium payments that you paid in.
Now before jumping on that band wagon - read on.
Let's now take a look at Term life insurance, (the least expensive), and compare the two before you decide.
A 20 year, full length, Term policy at $40 per month would cost you $9,600.
But you would NOT get any money back at the end of this 20 year policy.
Both R.
O.
P.
Term and Term insurance give you the exact same coverage but, the R.
O.
P.
Term life policy would cost you about $7,200 more.
With no interest on that $7,200.
Here's where you are better off.
$70 per month for an R.
O.
P.
Term life policy, $40 per month for basic Term life.
That's a difference of $30 per month.
Now, take that $30 per month you would save and invest it.
You would end up (depending on the investment) around the same as getting your premium back from the R.
O.
P.
The choice is totally yours.
It all depends on whether or not you can afford the extra premium each month for a 20 year policy.
Although Term insurance may be the least expensive, let's take a look at a few more advantages of Term life insurance is a no-brainer.
You pick the length of your policy and the amount of coverage.
As little or as much as you want.
You are in control.
After comparing insurance companies, you can take the difference between highest and lowest and invest it yourself.
(If you can afford to).
Insurance companies are extremely conservative when it comes to investing in the long run.
Whether you get a 20 year policy to cover your children's education and your final expenses.
Or, a 30 year policy to cover your mortgage and final expenses.
Or a 10 year policy to cover large debts.
Anything you need to protect your family financially after you're gone.
