All too often, people will avoid considering whole life insurance because they have been inundated with the mantra of buy term and invest the difference.

The pros of whole life insurance, however, are numerous and deserve consideration.

Whole Life Policy Design Matters

When determining what your whole life insurance rates will be, how your agent designs your whole life policy matters.

You have two primary options. You can focus on the death benefit or you can focus on building cash value.

Death Benefit Focused

With death benefit focused whole life insurance policy design you will want to apply your premium payment to your death benefit.

Cash Value Growth Focused

With cash value growth focused whole life insurance policy design you will want to apply the majority of your premium payment to paid up additions.

A policy focused on death benefit only may have lower premium payments than a policy that is focused on maximizing cash value accumulation.

Does that mean the lower premium whole life insurance policy is the better option?

Probably not.

You see, your reason for getting whole life insurance matters.

For example, if you are primarily concerned with leaving a large death benefit behind, but have little to no use for cash value growth, then whole life might not even be the best option.

In contrast, if you are looking to maximize your policy’s cash value growth, then it is essential that you choose a properly designed whole life policy from among the best dividend paying whole life insurance companies.

A brief note about the following whole life insurance quotes.

The following quotes are simply solving for death benefit and are in no way tailored to reflect what the right policy for you might be.

      Caleb, thanks for commenting. I’m sure based upon your comment if you’re joking or requesting help. Short answer, dead people are not eligible for life insurance:)

      Best, Steve Gibbs for I&E
