Term vs. Permanent Life Insurance

Do I Need Term or Permanent Life Insurance?
Your People's Insurance Representative can help you choose the most appropriate policy, but here are some basic things to consider:

You Should Consider Term Life If You...

  • Need short-term protection (fewer than 10 years)
  • Want to keep your initial premiums low
  • Only want to cover funeral expenses and provide money for the family to continue its normal lifestyle
  • Are not concerned about periodically requalifying based on your health

You Should Consider Permanent Life If You...

  • Need long-term protection (10 years of more)
  • Want to keep premiums level over the years
  • Want to build cash value to save for a major expense (buying a house, paying for college, retirement, etc.)
  • Want to borrow on the cash value or use it as collateral
  • Have concerns about requalifying based on your health
