Secure Your Future Podcast Episode 2: Life Insurance 101
In this episode of the "Secure Your Future Podcast," Brendan Murphy and Tom O'Hagan provide a comprehensive overview of life insurance. They delve into three primary types: term, whole life, and universal life insurance.

Term insurance is likened to renting an apartment, offering coverage for a fixed period, typically 10, 15, 20, or 30 years. It's affordable but lacks benefits beyond the term, although some policies now include living benefits for critical illnesses.

The hosts stress the importance of having individual life insurance outside of work, as employer group plans often provide limited coverage. Experts recommend having five to seven times one's salary to adequately safeguard family and cover expenses upon death.

Whole life insurance is compared to buying property, offering a smaller initial death benefit that accumulates cash value over time. It serves as a long-term investment that can be borrowed against for various financial needs.

Universal life insurance combines elements of term and whole life, with indexed universal life allowing policyholders to earn interest based on stock market indexes while being protected from market downturns.

The hosts also touch on children's life insurance as a savings plan or source for a home down payment. They advocate exploring trade school options, highlighting the competitive salaries and in-demand opportunities available.

Overall, this episode of the "Secure Your Future Podcast" enlightens listeners about the basics of life insurance, emphasizing the need to evaluate individual circumstances and seek professional advice when selecting a policy.
