A healthy 50-year-old man who buys the same policy might pay $1,000 a year. If he waits until he's 60, the policy will cost about $3,000 a year. Premiums for cash-value policies are much higher. For example, the healthy 40-year-old man who pays $350 a year for a $500,000 term policy would pay about $3,000 a year for a $500,000 universal life policy-in part because a portion of that $3,000 is going into the investment component of the policy. That's a huge difference.
