"Term Insurance is pure protection, like fire insurance or auto insurance, its sole function is to support your family if you die. You can buy large amounts of coverage for modest amount of money – and big policies are what your spouse and children need."
What is Term Life Insurance?
Term life insurance provides coverage for a specific period of time, or "term" of years. If the insured person dies within the "term" of the policy and the policy is still in force (active), then the death benefit is paid out to the beneficiary.
This type of insurance typically allows clients to initially purchase more insurance coverage for less money (premium) than other kinds of life insurance. Primerica's "Buy Term and Invest the Difference" philosophy encourages clients to take this "difference" in premium and invest it for the future.
Do I Need Life Insurance?
If anyone is depending on your income or if you have obligations (debt, mortgage, etc.) that would fall to someone else to handle if you were to die, then the answer is, "Yes."
Life insurance acts as a substitute for income. Have you ever calculated how much you'll earn in your lifetime? Typically, over the course of your working years, the answer is usually "a fortune." The potential risk of losing that earning power – earnings you'll need to fund your family's biggest goals like buying a home, paying for your kids' education, reducing debt, saving for retirement, etc. – especially at the early or mid-point of those years, is what makes life insurance a necessity for most people.

PRIMERICA TERM LIFE INSURANCE OFFERS AFFORDABLE PROTECTION
You need term life insurance. A common misconception about life insurance is that it is a permanent need for each family. Many financial experts see life insurance as a tool to "buy time" until you accumulate savings – and not as a permanent fixture of your financial life. Term life insurance is generally much more affordable in the initial years to provide the right amount of coverage you really need for your family.
PRIMERICA LIFE INSURANCE
Primerica's life insurance companies offer affordable term life insurance protection ranging from a 10-year level premium policy all the way up to a 35-year level premium policyii. The recognition received by our life insurance companies reflects our dedication to deliver term life insurance products to our clients.
GROUP INSURANCE THROUGH WORK MAY NOT BE ENOUGH
Many employers carry a group life insurance policy for their employees. If that's the case for you, is it really necessary to own an individual policy?
Group insurance can play a role in protecting your family, financially, but it's only a small part of that protection. Group insurance typically only covers one to two years' salary, is owned by your employer and usually only covers you while you remain employed. If you leave that job or get laid off, your employer-sponsored coverage ends. With a Primerica term life insurance policy, you're covered until age 95 and your policy remains in effect as long as you keep your premiums current.
HOW MUCH LIFE INSURANCE DO YOU NEED?
If your family is like most, the answer to that question is probably more than you currently have. Ten times your annual salary is a good rule of thumb. Your Primerica representative can help you determine how much life insurance you need, and many other questions you might have about your household finances, with a Financial Needs Analysis (FNA)
"Term Life Insurance is the least expensive option, especially if you're young and healthy."
WHEN SHOULD YOU PURCHASE LIFE INSURANCE?
People sometimes delay purchasing life insurance even though it exists to protect their loved ones' well-being – and they do so for several reasons. Death isn't something we like to think about. It's uncomfortable to consider what could happen to those who most care about you. Some people have the mistaken belief that there's no hurry. It's always something they can deal with tomorrow. But, none of us knows what tomorrow will bring.
The fact is that the younger you are, and the better your physical shape, the less expensive life insurance will be. And, remember, this should not be an "Internet decision," but a face-to-face (whether virtual or in-person) decision with an insurance professional to fully assess your insurance needs, answer your questions, and help you make the decisions you need to make to protect your family. Buying life insurance has never been easier – and the time to buy is now.
