How do I find cheap life insurance?

The cost of life insurance is a company's calculation of how much money it needs to collect from each member of the "pool." It is always based on the mortality tables and the statistical calculation of how much risk the company is accepting by insuring you at any point in time.

Here are a couple things to keep in minding when you're looking for cheap life insurance:

  • Shop around for rates

    It is a competitive marketplace, and much of the competition focuses on price. Don't hesitate to seek premium quotes from several different companies.

  • Shop for your own needs

    If term insurance fits, that's what you should shop for. Consider your own convenience. Do you want personal contact with an agent? Or if you buy an annuity, how fast can you get to your money in case of an emergency? If you are buying whole life, how fast does your money accumulate? What will the cash value be in one year? Three years? Ten years?

Tips For Lowering Your Life Insurance Premiums

  1. Improve your health

    Quit smoking, eat healthier and exercise regularly. This will decrease your premiums and increase your life expectancy.

  2. Consider your hobbies

    If you skydive, deep-sea dive or participate in any other high-risk activities, your premiums will be more expensive for obvious reasons.

  3. Use an independent agent

    An agent can save you both time and money when shopping for life insurance. Be sure to use an independent agent who can represent any company instead of one who must "push" one company's policies.

  4. Compare costs

    If you're considering the purchase of permanent life insurance, compare the costs and benefits of whole life versus other permanent policies. It may save you money!

  5. Term insurance first

    Try buying term insurance for at least the first 6 months. Note: You can convert term to permanent, but not permanent to term.
