Conditions are right for tornadoes, and tornadoes are possible. Remain alert: watch the sky and tune in to NOAA Weather Radio, commercial radio, or a local television station in case a warning is issued.
Term life insurance provides death benefit protection for a period of one or more years. The death benefit of the policy is paid only if the insured dies during that period. If the insured lives beyond the term period, no death benefit is paid. Typically, there are no cash values or loan values for term life insurance.
A term life insurance policy covers you for a stated periodâtypically 10, 15, 20, or 30 years. Because the insurance company's liability is limited to a specific period, term is the most economical kind of life insurance. A whole life insurance policy lasts as long as you pay the premiums.Whole life policies can also have a cash value. Part of the premium you pay covers your insurance, and some of it goes into the policy's cash value. Whole life insurance is much more expensive than term life insurance for the dollar amount of coverage.ost financial planners recommend coverage that's 5 to 10 times your annual income. For example, if you make $50,000, you might consider coverage between $250,000 and $500,000. If you're younger and just starting a family, you might need as much as 15 times your income to allow for salary increases.
