Jul 22, Yearly Renewable Term Insurance Explanation

The yearly renewable term insurance policy, sometimes referred to as the policy, needs some explanation. I think of this policy as a pressure policy if you intend to keep it for more than one year.

At this same time next year you will pay a premium for a person in your same exact situation but one year older. The following year the premium increases again as you will be paying a premium for a person two years older. On and on it goes…

The importance of term life insurance and income protection insurance

Are you worried how your relatives will cope financially if you died or lost the possibility to work? Find out why term life insurance and income protection policies are so fundamentally important.
