  • Is life insurance expensive?

    The average cost of term life insurance for a healthy 30-year-old is around $170/year.

  • How do I decide what type and how much insurance I need?

    There is no one-size-fits-all solution for life insurance. Every person's needs and budget are different, and the coverage you require will more than likely change as your circumstances change.

  • What is the difference between Term and Permanent Life insurance?

    Term policies provide coverage for a set time or term and build no cash value. They are less expensive than permanent policies with the same face value.


    Permanent life insurance policies remain in effect until the policyholder's death or until they lapse due to non-payment. Most permanent life insurance policies also include a savings component that can build cash value over time.

  • How can an agent help you with?

    An agent can start with a financial needs analysis to help you identify your current financial situation. They will listen to your needs and goals and use this information to help determine the type of policy that may be right for you.

    • Cash flow: Earn additional income and manage expenses
    • Proper protection: Protect against loss of income and protect family assets
