Looking For Affordable Term Life Insurance?

It is not too difficult to find affordable term life insurance. There is so much competition between life insurance companies to keep down rates that almost all term life insurance premiums are affordable for most buyers of life insurance. The thing that you need to pay attention to is the life insurance company you deal with.

Most life insurance companies are reputable because of the strict regulations in the United States and throughout the world. The safest companies to deal with, however, are the larger ones. They did not get there by being unethical. Check out their ratings with A. M. Best, Moody's and Standard and Poors.

Let us now look at the most affordable life insurance policies and see what people use them for.

Decreasing Term Life Insurance

The creation of this policy was like a special gift to the homeowner. This is one of the cheapest policies you can buy...but it has a specific purpose. It is believed that it was designed to pay off the balance owed to your bank or mortgage company in the event of your death. The thing that makes it so cheap is that the death benefit decreases with, or close to, your mortgage balance. Therefore, when you die your family will own a home free and clear. There are no mortgage payments to make.

Increasing Premium Term Life Insurance

Another affordable term life insurance policy is the increasing premium term life insurance policy or yearly renewable term as it is sometimes called. When you buy this policy you are really purchasing a one year term policy with the option of continuing it for additional years without having to prove that you qualify physically for it. As a result of this you begin with what is probably the lowest premium that you can get. Because your premiums increase every year this policy could turn out to be quite expensive after a number of years. If you therefore have a short term need for life insurance this policy may suit you just fine.

5 Year Term Life Insurance

The 5 year term policy has a guaranteed premium for 5 years and also a death benefit that is guaranteed level for the duration. Although it costs a little more than the decreasing term and the increasing premium term the premiums are still ridiculously inexpensive. This policy is also used for short term needs. If you are thinking long term you should convert to permanent insurance when you are able.

10 Year Term Insurance

If you take the time to check out the rates on the 10 year term policy you will also discover that this is a very affordable term life insurance policy. The premiums remain level for 10 years and so does the death benefit. This policy is also used for short term needs but is used sometimes like a stop-gap. You buy the policy because you cannot afford what you really want at this time. You convert to the one you prefer when you find yourself in a better financial situation.

20 Year And 30 Year Term Life Insurance

People just love to buy these policies because they are affordable term life insurance policies and they can be used in most situations where there is a need for life insurance. The premiums are guaranteed to remain level for the duration...20 years or 30 years. The death benefit is also guaranteed level. These policies are used to protect families in case the breadwinner dies prematurely. Business people use them also to fund buy-sell agreements and for key employee, or key man, life insurance.
