3 Reasons to Buy Whole Life Insurance

Whole life insurance may not be the right choice for everyone, but it can be a policy that protects you and your loved ones in ways you hadn’t considered. If you live in Little Falls, MN, it makes sense to explore your options before settling on a type of life insurance that will actually serve your needs. 

1. Consistent Payments 

When you buy whole life insurance, you’re getting consistency when it comes to how much you pay. In other words, you won’t have to worry about your premium going up as you get older, no matter what happens in the future. It’s also a permanent policy, which means that it’s always available to your loved ones. If you purchase term insurance, the policy will have an expiration date based on your preferences (e.g., the policy runs out when your youngest child turns 21). 

2. You Accrue Interest 

Like most permanent policies, whole-life insurance comes with a built-in savings component. If you needed to take out a loan later on in life, you can borrow from your life insurance policy. This loan is not interest-free, but it is tax-free. It can be exactly what you’re looking if you and your family hit a rough patch. There are also accelerated benefits available through a whole-life policy, which may pay for things like long-term medical treatment. It’s even possible to terminate the policy for a cash payout.

You might think of commercial auto or commercial property insurance when someone mentions insuring your business, but it goes much further than that.
