since it covers you for life, you could have fixed premiums for life. Term life doesn’t cover you for life, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing; however, you could end up paying higher premiums upon renewal. Opinions vary from person to person as to whether fixed premiums are enough to make whole life the better life insurance.

The perk that tends to form stronger opinions, however, is the investment component that comes with whole life policies. Whole life policies come with an investment component, often referred to as “forced savings,” which is money your policy accumulates based on dividends the life company pays you, and life companies that sell whole life policies label the investment component as an excellent way to save money; however, opinions on whether or not the investment component of a whole life policy is worth the extra price – or even effective, for that matter – range from one end of the spectrum to the other.

If you’re considering purchasing a life policy, but aren’t yet sure if you want to purchase term or whole, don’t base your decision solely on the perks offered. Sure, a whole life policy allows you to save money, but so does a bank. The decision-making process doesn’t have to be complicated. If you want life for life, look into whole life insurance; if you want life for a certain period of time, look into term life insurance. Look at the perks of each policy only after you have a handle on the basics of each policy. You’re less likely to be swayed by the perks once you know which policy will better meet your needs.
