How Life Insurance Works
“You don’t buy life insurance because you’re going to die — you buy it because those you love are going to live.”

At its core, life insurance is a contract between you and an insurance company. You pay regular premiums, and in return, the insurer guarantees a financial benefit to your chosen beneficiaries after your passing.

Here’s how it all ties together:

  • Premiums: The cost you pay monthly or annually, based on your age, health, and policy type.
  • Death Benefit: The lump sum your loved ones receive, often tax-free.
  • Cash Value (for permanent policies): A savings component that grows over time and can be borrowed against.
  • Policy Term: How long the coverage lasts — temporary (Term Life) or lifelong (Whole/Universal Life).

Understanding these moving parts helps you pick the right plan that fits your goals — protection, investment, or both.
