Consumer pricing and coverage concepts

Affordability

Affordability in life insurance means whether the premium fits your budget over the long term without strain. A policy that lapses from cost provides no protection.

Why it matters

Choose a premium you can pay for years. A smaller policy kept in force beats a large one that lapses. Options include term for lower cost, a lower coverage amount, or annual billing. Agents should ask about income and bills before quoting. Ask your agent to show a few price points, and choose the one you can keep paying through hard months.
