Life Insurance explained – Term, Whole, Universal & what you actually need
Life insurance is one of the most important—and most misunderstood—financial tools available. At its core, life insurance exists to protect the people who depend on you financially. If something happens to you, life insurance provides money to your family to replace income, pay debts, and maintain their lifestyle.
This article explains the main types of life insurance, common options and riders, and whether coverage should come from your employer or be purchased personally.
Why Life Insurance Matters
If you have any of the following, life insurance is worth serious consideration:
- A spouse or children who rely on your income
- A mortgage or other significant debt
- Business ownership or financial obligations to partners
- Plans to pay for college or provide financial support to others
Life insurance provides cash directly to your beneficiaries, usually tax-free, to help them cover:
- Mortgage payments
- Living expenses
- Education costs
- Debt repayment
- Funeral expenses
Without life insurance, these financial burdens can fall directly on your family.
