Term life insurance is the most basic of life insurance products.
It has no savings component, and thus no cash value. By the name, it is purchased for a ‘term.’
Term life comes in many different flavors, with differing terms and conditions, guarantees, etc. As with any financial services product, it is wise to do your research and seek professional advice so that you purchase a product which best meets your needs.
Term life can be purchased in many ways.
Your employer may offer term life with special terms as a benefit to you and your family. Many affinity groups (alumni associations, professional groups, etc.) offer special products.
