Frequently asked questions
How much life insurance do I need?
A common rule is 10-12x your annual income, plus enough to cover specific obligations like a mortgage, college costs, and final expenses. An agent can run a personalized needs analysis at no cost.
Term vs whole life -- what's the difference?
Term life covers a set period (10/20/30 years) and is the most affordable. Whole/universal life lasts your lifetime and accumulates cash value, but premiums can be 5-10x higher. For most consumers, term + investing the difference comes out ahead.
Do I need a medical exam?
Many term policies under $500K require only a health questionnaire. Larger policies and permanent products often require a paramedical exam (basic blood draw + measurements). Some no-exam products exist but cost more for the same coverage.
