LIFE INSURANCE:
TERM LIFE INSURANCE
PERMANENT LIFE INSURANCE
Term life insurance offers a protection that is both limited in time and a budget sensitive approach, in the event of a premature death. It is wise to harmonize this kind of protection with your financial vulnerabilities and responsibilities that will disappear or lower during the passage of time, like a mortgage, debts, your standard of living with the children, scholarship or tuition fees, etc.).
You can purchase term life insurance for a fixed period of 10, 15, 20, 25 or 30 years that will protect you and your loved ones up until you reach the age of 80. When your insurance terminates at the chosen term, you will be able to renew the contract without medical examinations or convert it in part or entirely into a permanent insurance.
Consider that depending on your age and your health, the cost of insurance can increase, so it is always better to take an insurance contract in the present moment or as young as possible.
Term insurance can cover your loved ones against several important elements related to your finances and according to your priorities, such as:

a mortgage loan / credit card debt / personal loan (car, study, etc.)
