Some Common Terms and Types of Life Insurance Policies:Term Insurance- This policy covers you for a specified period of time. You select the death benefit and term period of coverage. These periods are usually one year, 10 years, 20 years, or 30 years. The rate is locked in at the increment and price you select.
Advantage: You can receive higher coverage amounts at an afforable cost during younger years.
Disadvantage: As you get into retirement age and older, this type of insurance gets more expensive. You also have no coverage after the policy expires.
Whole Life Insurance- These policies will cover you for a lifetime unless you cancel or cash in the policy. They also have a cash fund that accumulates cash value. These policies can be cashed in for that cash value amount, however, there will not be much cash value in the first few years.

Disadvantage: It is more expensive then term insurance.
