Term vs. whole life: which one actually fits?

They protect the same people in very different ways. A quick, jargon-free way to think about the choice.

Life insurance does not have to be complicated. Most of the decision is just term versus whole life.

Term life

Coverage for a set number of years, usually the years your family depends on your income. It is the most affordable way to get a large amount of protection.

Whole life

Permanent coverage that also builds cash value over time. It costs more, but it never expires and can be part of a longer-term plan.

A simple way to decide

If your main goal is protecting your family during your working years, term usually wins on value. If you want lifelong coverage or a savings component, whole life may fit. We will price both so you can see the real numbers side by side.
