Term Life insurance

Because term life insurance provides life insurance coverage for a specific time period (term), it is often referred to as temporary insurance or pure insurance. The face amount of the policy is paid if you die during the term of the policy. When you live longer than the term of the insurance coverage, nothing is paid.

Who should buy term life insurance?
People with high insurance need, low cash flow
Term insurance is appropriate for situations when there is a high need for insurance but not much cash flow to pay for it. For example, a young family with limited cash resources may have a great need for survivor income to provide for living expenses and education needs. Term insurance is especially helpful here, allowing the family to buy insurance protection with minimal cash outlay.
