Alternative Uses For Your Life Insurance

1/24/2018

Picture
Most of us purchase life insurance for its death benefits.  We take comfort in the fact that our loved ones will be taken care of if we suddenly leave them.  Your final expenses can be a huge burden to your family. Funeral costs are just the beginning, there is also unpaid mortgages and loans, unpaid debts, etc.  This is where life insurance comes in.  In the event of your death, you know your loved ones will not have a hard time.  Although, there are other uses for it.
There are 2 types of life insurance

Let's first understand the 2 types of life insurance.  The first is term life insurance.  This provides protection for a specific duration or term.  It ranges from around 10-30 years.  If you pass away within the term, then your benefits can be claimed.

The second type is permanent life insurance.  This type of insurance offers you lifelong protection as long as you pay premiums.  Since this lasts a lifetime, it accumulated cash value.  

It is this cash value that you can use to fund yourself, even if you are still living.  As time passes, your policy will accumulate cash value which you can borrow to fund many things needed in your life.  Let's take a look at some examples below.


Use it as a student loan

One of the first major expenses you will have is for your education.  We all know education is expensive but essential.  Bank loans, financial aids, and others can be difficult.  Borrowing against the cash value of your policy can help fund this instead.


Use it to start a business

When you are done with your studies, and you are now a responsible adult, the next step is to work.  You can look for a job, or start your own business.  Starting your own business is risky and will require some capital.  Depending on the business you are entering, it can require quite a sum.  This is another avenue you can use the cash value of your life insurance.


Use it in case of an emergency

Life can sometimes throw you a curveball and give you something you did not expect.  From an illness to you or a loved one, to losing your main source of income, your life insurance can help.  


Conclusion

Remember that using  or borrowing from the cash value of your life insurance policy can affect your death benefits.  However, it is comforting to know that you have another source of protection from your life insurance.  This is true even if you are still living. At American Trust Insurance, we put our clients first by offering them policies that they can afford. Learn more about our products and services by calling our agency at (305) 270-2220.
