When you purchase a life insurance policy you are not purchasing it for yourself, but rather you are insuring the future well-being of your family or loved ones. There is something almost noble in the purchase of a life insurance policy.

Noble or not it is still important to get affordable life insurance, and fortunately there are some things you can do to help keep the cost of your noble act within reasonable limits.

There are two different kinds of life insurance and understanding their differences and how they work might help you decide which type is the best choice for your particular situation.

The two types of life insurance are: Whole Life and Term Life.

On the surface it might seem as if term life were the better choice because initially the monthly premiums for term insurance are less than the premiums for a whole life policy of the same size. But the starting price for premiums does not give the whole answer.

While term insurance may start out being less expensive, term insurance is only good for a certain number of years – the term of the policy. Once the policy reaches the end of its term the policy is, effectively, canceled. If you wish to continue your life insurance you will need to purchase another policy – at a higher monthly premium. Sometimes considerably higher.

If your term policy runs its course two or three times during your lifetime and you are forced to renew at a higher rate each time, then by the end of your life that “cheap” term policy is beginning to look pretty expensive.

A whole life policy, on the other hand, is good for your whole life. It never terminates as long as you make your monthly premium payments on time each month. And, unlike the term life policy, the premium that you pay on day one of your whole life policy never goes up by even a penny no matter how long you live.

Also, unlike a term policy, a whole life policy builds up a cash value over time which can be borrowed against and which need not be repaid (although failure to repay a loan against an insurance policy will reduce the payout in the event of the policy-holder’s death).

Whether you decide upon a whole life policy or a term policy you can still reduce your monthly premium payments if you do not smoke or use tobacco products and if you are not overweight and are in generally good health. If you drive a high-performance car or participate in “extreme” sports or other activities deemed “dangerous” you can expect higher monthly premiums.

Your credit rating can also affect your monthly life insurance premiums. The better your credit score the lower your monthly premiums.

When all is said and done your best bet for finding affordable life insurance in New Hampshire is on line. Find at least two different websites that allow you to compare life insurance policies head-to-head from different insurance companies. By filing out the forms on at least two (and preferably three) different comparison websites you can be assured that you are comparing all of the life insurance companies doing business in New Hampshire.

Now simply pick the best policy and the best price and you can rest easy knowing that you really and truly have gotten the most affordable life insurance possible here in New Hampshire.
