Five Term Life Insurance Tips to Save Money

MINNETONKA, Minn., Oct. 21, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- One of the best ways to protect a family's financial future is with a term life insurance policy. Renewable life insurance is affordable, can provide a lump sum to the beneficiaries, replace income, pay off credit card debts, cover housing expenses, medical costs and funeral expenses, in addition to covering the cost of a child's higher education. With a wide range of plan options, TermLifeInsurance.com offers money-saving tips for cost-conscious consumers.

TermLifeInsurance.com recommends five ways to save money on a term life insurance policy:

1. Buy as a young adult. Whether a person is just starting a family or wants to in the future, one can save money by locking in low rates when they buy as a young and healthy adult.
2. Choose the appropriate length of coverage. Term life insurance policies are flexible and can generally be purchased in increments anywhere from five to 30 years. One should consider their unique situation. An individual with young children and a home mortgage might consider enough protection to cover their mortgage and send the kids off to college.
3. Buy the right amount of coverage. When choosing between policies, think about how much coverage is actually needed to maintain the family's lifestyle and cover final expenses. Many recommend a policy amount about six to ten times the policyholder's gross annual income; however, one should only buy a plan that is affordable in their current situation.
4. Be healthy. This may seem obvious, but the savings are surprising. Some companies charge twice as much for high-risk individuals who smoke. Being smoke-free and maintaining a healthy weight can add up to hefty savings.
5. Shop around and compare rates. Get multiple quotes from competing life insurance agents and companies in order to save the most on a policy.
