what is the benefit of a term life policy?

564 views

Maybe I just don’t understand what they’re doing. BUt it seems to me if I take out a 10 year policy that costs $100 per month, I’m betting that I’m going to die within that period of time and the company is betting that I won’t or that they won’t have to pay out. If I get to the end of that 10 year term, then I’m just out $12,000. What am I missing?

I have one that is good until I’m 65. If I die before then my wife and eventual kids are taken care of. If not then my death is more expected and I have had time to prepare for it. For term life if I saved up the same amount every month it wouldn’t be nearly as much as what the payout would be from the insurance.
