本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛when you buy Life insurance policy, don't just consider price (or in most cases, estimated monthly level payment), there are more than 100 insurance companies in Canada. Since their operating cost, mortality rate for your age group are different, your monthly payment may be as low as $20 from one company for a term policy, and $100 from another one for a Universal Life
You should look at following factors:
1. your annual budget for life insurance (the ideal amount is 2-3% of your gross annual income);
2. talk to a trustworthy agent to decide the right product and right amount of coverage: your agent should do a discovery interview first to decide on the product and amount (you may only need $50,000 coverage for now, so why buying a $200,000 policy)
(generally speaking, there are 3 types of life insurance: term policy, UL and whole life; term is the most basic one and most affordable one; UL contains investment components and investment earnings are not guaranteed; whole life contains a lot of guarantees with good cash value but most expensive one)
3. your risk tolerance level; if you don't want to take risks in terms of investment, choose whole life for a permanent insurance planning, or just choose term policy to get a good coverage not only for you but also for your spouse and children).
