The 3rd biggest reason why people don’t get life insurance is because they don’t know what type to get

Let’s Start with The Basics: The 3 Main Types of Life Insurance
Term Life
Coverage that lasts for a set number of years (usually 10, 20, or 30).
If you pass away during that time, your loved ones receive a payout. If the term ends, the coverage ends.
Good for:
Young families raising kids
People with a mortgage or debt
Anyone who wants affordable coverage now
Whole Life
Coverage that lasts your whole life and also builds up a little savings (called “cash value”) over time.
That money is yours, you can use it later if you want.
Good for:
People who want lifelong protection
Those looking to leave something behind
Those who like predictability and stability
Indexed Universal Life (IUL)
A flexible type of lifelong coverage that also grows money on the side.
It is based on the stock market, but without the risk of losing money when the market drops.
Good for:
People planning ahead for retirement and long-term care
Higher-income individuals with savings goals
Those wanting both protection and financial growth
