There are a lot of different kinds of life insurance. Before you go out and get one, you should learn about them and decide which one fits your needs the best. Here are the ones that are most often used:
- Term life insurance: This is the most basic type of insurance. Its only purpose is to cover your life with a certain amount of cash, which will be given to your nominee if you die. Here, the policy limit is the same as the death benefit. This is a good way to have peace of mind and know that your family will be taken care of even if you die. This is a good thing to always have on hand.
- Whole life insurance: This type of policy gives a fixed amount to the person you choose to receive it when you die. It also gives you money over time, like an investment would. The good things about this kind of insurance are:
a. Pays a fixed amount if someone dies
b. gives you an amount to invest that is tax-free
c. protects you from rising prices because the premium stays the same for the rest of your life, even if the market changes.
d. pays off like a good investment plan should
e. gives you the freedom to sell the policy back whenever you want to.
Variable life insurance: This type of insurance is much more flexible than whole life insurance. The best thing about this is that the policy owner can borrow against the amount of the policy when it comes due. This way, not only are you covered, but you also have a good way to borrow money at a lower interest rate than the market rate. The tax-free growth of cash in variable life insurance is another great reason for people all over the world to invest in insurance. Another benefit of this type of insurance is that the amount that will be paid to the policyholder's nominee can be changed depending on what the beneficiary needs (in relation to the funds available in the account).
- Universal life insurance is one of the most flexible types of insurance. It doesn't just cover death; it gives you a lot of other benefits as well:
a. Like all insurance policies, it pays a set amount of money to the beneficiary if you die.
b. It gives you a tax-free way to invest cash that can earn interest at market value.
c. The premium can be changed at any time, making it easy to keep up with payments even when money is tight.
d. This type of insurance also lets you change the amount you pay.
- Universal variable life insurance: This is the best insurance policy you can get. It gives you total freedom over how you invest and how you get your money back. You are always in charge of all of your money:
a. If you die, it gives the person you choose a certain amount of money.
b. It gives you a tax-free way to invest cash that can earn interest at market value.
c. It gives you complete premium freedom
d. It lets you take money out of your policy at any time for the rest of your life.
e. It lets you borrow against the maturity amount at interest rates that the government pays for.
f. You can cancel the policy at any time, but the amount you get at the end will be less than it would have been if you hadn't.
