Life insurance is an essential part of financial planning. One reason
most people buy life insurance is to replace income that would be
lost with the death of a wage earner. The cash provided by life
insurance also can help ensure that your dependents are not burdened
with significant debt when you die.
When you buy life insurance, you want a policy which fits your needs
without costing too much. Your first step is to decide how much you
need, how much you can afford to pay and the kind of policy you want.

If you compare Surrender
Cost Indexes and Net Payment Cost Indexes of similar
competing policies, your chances of finding a relatively good buy
will be better than if you do not shop.
