We got a great question from a listener. They wrote in: “What’s better — term life insurance, universal life, or whole life?” Straightforward question. Not a straightforward answer, especially if you’re in your 50s. Today, Steve walks through all three. The right type of life insurance is the one that solves your specific problem at your specific stage of life. Your needs at 55 don’t look like they did at 35, and your coverage shouldn’t either.
Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:
🛡️ Life Insurance Types: Term, whole, and universal each serve different roles
📍 Starting Point: What are you actually protecting today?
👨👩👧👦 Life Stage Needs: Coverage changes as your life evolves
🏦 Whole Life: Long-term coverage with higher costs and tradeoffs
🔄 Universal Life: Flexible but requires careful management
