whole life insurance

Lifelong death benefit

Whole life insurance is a policy that covers the insured for their entire lifetime, not just a fixed term.

Premiums remain constant, and the policy accumulates cash value that can be borrowed against or withdrawn.

It combines a death benefit with a savings component: She took out a whole life policy at thirty and never had to worry about renewal.
