  • Familiarize yourself with the types of insurance available - There are two types of life insurance: (1) cash value and (2) term life. Cash value insurance comes in the form of whole life, variable life, and universal life. Term insurance is more affordable in terms of premiums. What is ‘best’ for you depend on your needs and ability to pay.
  • Talk to an expert - Talk to a reputable insurance -expertswho can evaluate your needs and gives you information on policies that match those needs.

This is essential if you are having a hard time understanding the differences between the types of life insurance policies available.
  • Determine how much coverage you need – Are you the sole breadwinner? How many people depend on your income?In the event you pass away, how will your family pay expenses and repay debts you might leave behind?
