Which type of insurance is right for you?

Not all life insurance is the same. Here's a plain-English breakdown of the three main types — and who each one is best for.

⏱️
Simple & Affordable
Term Life

Coverage for a specific period — usually 10, 20, or 30 years. If you pass away during the term, your family gets the payout. If the term ends and you're still alive, the policy expires.

  • Lowest monthly cost
  • Easy to understand
  • Great for young families
  • High coverage amounts available
Best for: Young parents, people with a mortgage, anyone who wants maximum coverage at minimum cost
🏦
Lifelong + Cash Value
Whole Life

Permanent coverage that never expires as long as you pay premiums. Builds cash value over time that you can borrow against. Premiums never go up.

  • Coverage for life — no expiration
  • Builds cash value you can access
  • Premiums stay the same forever
  • Can be used as an asset
Best for: People who want permanent protection, estate planning, or a policy that doubles as a financial asset
📈
Flexible + Growth Potential
IUL

Indexed Universal Life combines permanent life insurance with a cash value component that grows based on a stock market index — without the direct risk of market losses.

  • Cash value tied to market index
  • Protected from market downturns
  • Flexible premium payments
  • Tax-advantaged growth
Best for: Higher earners, people who've maxed out their 401k, those who want life insurance + retirement savings in one
