Cash Value Life Summary

Because there is no free lunch, cash value life insurance is more expensive than term life insurance. If you are going to have insurance protection and accumulate cash value, it will cost more. You might compute your insurance needs and find out that you need $500,000 of life insurance. However, you may not be able to afford this much cash value life insurance. What you may want to do in this situation is buy as much cash value life insurance as you can afford and buy term life to fulfill the remaining need.

When buying cash value life insurance, one needs to weigh many factors. Have you made the maximum contribution to your tax qualified retirement plan (IRA, 401(k), etc.)? If you haven't, you should explore that option more fully, before you purchase cash value life insurance. If you are paying 20% interest on unpaid credit card balances, you should pay the credit cards off before making an investment in cash value life insurance. If the above situations do not pertain to you, and you want to accumulate some savings, cash value life insurance can make a lot of sense. That is why the majority of Fortune 500 companies use cash value life insurance to supplement their Executive's Retirement Programs. As indicated above, there are many types of cash value life insurance plans, and consumers should purchase the type that best matches their financial objectives.
