Why it matters: – Often referred to as “renting” coverage, term policies provide protection for a set period (10, 20, or 30 years). If you pass away during the term, your beneficiaries receive a defined payout. Once the term ends, the coverage typically expires.
Why it matters: – Designed to last your entire life, these policies may include a cash value component and offer more flexibility—but often come with higher costs and greater complexity.
