Term life or permanent life? Whole, universal, or perhaps participating?
You may recognize the terms but still wonder how they actually work. You’re not alone.
Term life insurance offers coverage for a set period of time. It’s often used for specific needs, like a mortgage, a business, or income protection while kids are growing up.
Permanent life insurance lasts a lifetime and can build cash value over time. That cash value can be accessed later on, depending on the policy. It offers 3 main options:
☀️ Whole life, which offers predictable premiums and steady cash value growth.
☀️ Universal life, which provides more flexibility and includes investment options.
☀️ Participating life, which builds cash value and may pay dividends.
Some people choose one type. Others combine options to support different goals over time.
