Life insurance, deep dive

A closer look at life insurance itself: term, whole, and variable life compared side by side, how to work out how much coverage you actually need, and the beneficiary, rider, and claims details that decide whether a policy actually protects your family when it matters.

Why life insurance exists

You already know from the basics that life insurance pays a lump sum to your beneficiaries when you die. This course goes deeper into a single question that decides almost everything else: what job is a life insurance policy actually doing for the people you leave behind? The honest answer is that it replaces income, not memories, and it isn't a substitute for love. It hands whoever depended on your paycheck enough money to keep the lights on and the tuition paid while they rebuild.
