Whole Life

Whole life insurance is a type of permanent life insurance. As long as you continue paying the premiums, the policy stays in force for your entire life. That gives many people peace of mind because they know the coverage will not expire after a set number of years.

Whole life insurance is usually more expensive than term life insurance, but it comes with lifelong protection instead of temporary coverage. The premium also stays level, which means it does not increase the way a new term policy might after the original term ends. For some people, that makes whole life insurance a good foundation for a larger financial plan.

A whole life policy can also build cash value over time. Once the cash value grows, you may be able to borrow against it without a credit check. Some people use that money for major expenses like a car, home improvements, or a down payment on a house. If the loan is not repaid, the amount borrowed is taken out of the death benefit later.

Whole life insurance can be a useful option for people who want permanent protection and a policy that can support their long-term financial goals. It may also work well as part of a layered plan that includes other types of coverage for specific needs.
