Term life insurance pays a death benefit to your beneficiaries if you die during a chosen period (the “term”), such as 10, 20, or 30 years.

Why people choose term

  • Replace income while kids are young or a mortgage is large
  • Cover a specific financial obligation for a known window of time
  • Often more affordable than permanent life for a given death benefit (pricing varies)
Term policies typically do not build cash value like some permanent products. When the term ends, coverage ends unless you renew, convert, or buy a new policy (subject to underwriting and product rules).

Honest framing

Life insurance is about people who depend on you — not scare tactics. The right amount and length depend on debts, income, and who would need support.
