Educational purposes only — here’s a real side-by-side look at what a 29-year-old would see comparing a 30-year term vs. an IUL (protection-focused).
Note: this isn’t showing the max cash option — that would push cash value significantly higher but lower the death benefit. This version is built around coverage-first, with cash value as the bonus.
A few things worth knowing:
Both term and IUL require underwriting — poor health or high-risk profiles can make approval tough or impossible.
Once you can no longer qualify for either, your options narrow to whole life or a guaranteed issue policy (with a 2-year wait).
The time to lock in coverage is while you’re healthy. ✅
