Life Insurance

There are two major types of life insurance: term and permanent (also known as whole life).

Term life insurance only provides coverage during a set timeframe, and typically expires with no cash value. Whole life insurance is just like the name says: good for your whole life, as long as you keep paying the premiums. With permanent life insurance, there's a guaranteed payout at the end, but the trade-off is that it's much more expensive — generally 10 times the price of term. To offset those costs, permanent life policies include a tax-deferred savings account that earns interest over time. A portion of the premium goes into the savings account, which you can use as collateral against a loan, and the interest the account earns can be used to pay your premium. If you cash out the account, though, say goodbye to your death benefits.

A spirited debate persists among experts on the pros and cons of term and permanent. The basic argument for term is that the savings component of permanent policies can be better realized by simply investing the amount you'd pay for the more expensive permanent policy somewhere else, like your 401(k). Proponents of permanent counter that term insurance has zero value once it expires, while permanent policies are at least always worth something.

There's a trade-off for sure, but one thing is certain: Term life policies offer the most protection for the buck.
