What Is the Difference Between Term and Whole Life Insurance?
When shopping for life insurance in Oklahoma, most families choose between term life and whole life. While both provide financial protection, they serve very different purposes. Understanding the differences ensures you choose the right policy for your needs.
Term Life Insurance
Term life provides coverage for a set period, usually 10–30 years. If you pass away during that time, your family receives the death benefit.
- Lower premiums
- Temporary coverage (mortgage, children’s education)
- No cash value
Whole Life Insurance
Whole life provides lifetime coverage as long as premiums are paid. It also builds cash value that grows tax-deferred.
- Higher premiums
- Permanent protection
- Cash value and loan options
Which Is Right for Oklahomans?
If you want affordable protection for a limited time, term is best. If you want permanent coverage and savings benefits, whole life is better. Many families combine both.
