Most policy buyers are not aware of the availability of an affordable life insurance. First time buyers may be discouraged by the high premium costs of the Whole Life Insurance policy. As a result they may be reluctant to provide financial protection to their loved ones. However, there is an affordable alternative which is the Term Life Insurance policy.

Life Insurance is of two basic types namely Term Life Insurance and Whole Life Insurance. In the case of Term Life Insurance, the amount of insurance and the policy period is chosen by the policy buyers. The Whole Life Insurance offers additional benefits of cash value along with life insurance.

Variable Life Insurance policies are expensive but offer more control and flexibility as compared to other policies. There is enough potential to earn tax free profits and provide the beneficiary with a substantial amount of tax free money. As it is possible to save on estate taxes, policy buyers purchase Variable Life Insurance for their heirs who are eligible to withdraw the cash value or borrow against it.

Variable Life Insurance policy holders can switch investments without incurring any charges or taxes. Most insurance providers limit the number of such investment switches to twelve per year. The downside of Variable Insurance is the risk involved in the cash value component which depends largely on the performance of investments.

The insurance provider is not responsible for the investment decisions of the policy buyer. Also, the insurance provider cannot guarantee a minimum balance towards the policy sum which is invested. Therefore if investments do not perform well in the market, then the cash value will be forfeited by the insurance provider towards payment of premiums. However, by investing wisely policy buyers can benefit from substantial earnings as compared to other policy types.

Term Life is a perfect arrangement in the case of the premature death of the policy holder. However, it is not possible to predict the life time of an individual. Therefore Term Life Insurance is the most suitable policy cover that provides the required financial protection to the beneficiary in the event of the sudden death of the policy holder. However, individuals with a family history of premature death due to various reasons can secure themselves with the Term Life Insurance.
