Should I get whole life or term life insurance?

Term life insurance and whole life insurance are different ends of the protection spectrum. A term life insurance policy is temporary in nature, whereas whole life insurance is the opposite. It is insurance coverage that offers a lifelong policy term as long as your policy premiums are paid.

While term policies provide coverage for temporary needs like diminishing mortgage debts and providing for dependents, whole life or permanent life insurance policies can provide for permanent needs. This can include providing for final tax expenses, funeral arrangements, or leaving a tax-advantaged legacy behind for children or grandchildren.
