When it comes to choosing Life Insurance, everyone’s circumstances are different.


Term Life Insurance gives you a large amount of coverage at a low, fixed price for 10, 20, or 30 years, the years your family depends on your income most. It can replace your paycheck, pay off your mortgage, and fund your kids’ education. Many policies can be converted to permanent coverage later without a new medical exam.

Term Return on premium (ROP) insurance covers you for a specific period of time if the
plan is not used within the term period all premiums paid will be refunded at the end of the term
period.

Whole Life Insurance is typically more expensive than term life insurance provides lifetime protection.

Indexed Universal Life (IUL) insurance is permanent life insurance that builds cash value linked to a market index, with protection from market losses. Over time, that cash value may be used to supplement retirement income or cover major expenses. It’s a strong fit for professionals who want protection now and a growing asset for later.

beneficiary.

and for an additional cost, offers an optional guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit that provides guaranteed “retirement paycheck” for you and your spouse. This is guaranteed to grow each

How Much Does Term Life Insurance Cost?

Less than most people think. Adults 30 and younger overestimate the cost of life insurance by 10 to 12 times, according to LIMRA and Life Happens. Your price depends on your age, health, coverage amount, and term length, and the younger and healthier you are when you apply, the lower your rate is locked in.

Common Questions

How much life insurance do I need?

A common starting point is 10 to 12 times your annual income, plus your mortgage and other debts. Jonathan helps you find your exact number in a free consultation.

Do I need a medical exam?

Not always. Many term and IUL plans offer no-exam options for healthy applicants, with approval in days instead of weeks.

Isn’t my life insurance through work enough?

Usually not. Employer coverage often equals one or two years of salary and typically ends when you leave the job. A personal policy stays with you.

Why use a broker instead of buying direct?

A broker compares multiple carriers for you. Each company prices health and age differently, so comparing can mean better rates for the same coverage.
