Term life insurance is often called temporary life insurance. Term life insurance is purchased to cover some type of asset over a fixed period of time. Term life has much lower rates than permanent plans because of these shorter time periods. Level term insurance is purchased to cover short intermediate-term obligations. The time periods can be 5, 10, 15, and sometimes 20 years. Short term debt is often covered by a level term policy. Family budgets are full of short term debt obligations. Families buy automobiles, appliances, furniture, and many other household goods and are in debt for these items over a short period of time. When you purchase these items you are often approached to buy credit life insurance to cover these obligations. It would be less expensive for a family to purchase a level term policy or rider to cover this kind of short term debt.

Level term policies are better than credit life policies because the insured can choose the beneficiary. The credit company is often the beneficiary with credit life insurance and so the insured has no option in how to use the money at time of death. Level term policies are better buys to hedge against inflation. The decreasing term policy is a little less expensive but the coverage declines. The cost of goods and services never declines and so a level term policy will at least maintain its original face amount for the whole time period.

You may want to compare level term rates and decreasing term rates. The difference may not be that much and so level term insurance may be a better purchase in the long run. The best type of life insurance planning includes a base of permanent insurance for life time needs and additional forms of term insurance for temporary needs. Level term life insurance is an excellent option for short term or intermediate term debt obligation.
