Perm or Term Life Insurance Over 50?
Term Life or Permanent Life Insurance Over 50?
Many people over 50, or even well into retirement years, are considering the purchase of a new life insurance policy. Some people associate life insurance with younger people, but some of us reached middle age with many of the same obligations we had when we were younger. We are just older now, and we find that policies are a little tougher to find and more expensive when we do find them.
So how do we consider the alternatives now, and decide between term vs whole life insurance policies? And why do older people need to purchase a policy anyway?

How Life Insurance Policies Work
A life assurance policyholder pays a certain amount of money in his or her lifetime to an insurance company to 
safeguard their future or the future of their dependants. People do this by paying the insurance company a premium either at regular intervals or in one sum depending on the type of life assurance policy. In the event of the policyholder’s death, his or her dependants receive the stipulated amount that has been paid for in the policyholder’s lifetime, which helps greatly especially in case their children are young and incapable of looking after themselves.
