Does It Make Sense To Keep Life Insurance After Age 50?

Once you pass 50, your life insurance needs may change. Perhaps the kids are grown and financially secure, or your mortgage is finally paid off.

If so, you may be able to reduce or eliminate coverage. On the other hand, a disabled dependent or meager savings might require you to hold on to life insurance indefinitely.

Whatever your situation, you’re looking at two main options: term life insurance or whole life insurance.

Let’s start with term life insurance. With a term policy, you buy life insurance for a fixed period of time, anywhere from a year up to 30 years.

In the event of your death during the period when your coverage is in effect, term life insurance will pay out a specified amount to the beneficiaries listed on your policy. The exact sum depends on how much coverage you bought. That’s indicated by the so-called face amount of your policy.

A term life insurance policy with a face amount of $500,000 will provide your heirs with a $500,000 payout when you pass away.

Term life insurance is far less costly than whole life insurance.

A term policy is a good safeguard for specific financial commitments such as college tuition. You can time the term policy to expire after Junior graduates.

Regardless of whether you buy term or whole life, your monthly payments typically remain fixed for the entire time you have a policy in force.

One advantage of whole life insurance, which is also known as permanent insurance, is that it doesn’t expire.

You have coverage for your whole life, as the name implies, just as long as you pay the premiums. That’s critical if you have financial commitments that won’t go away.
