If you want to find the lowest priced life insurance coverage, you'll want to check out term life insurance.

Term life plans offer the lowest prices on life insurance.

With term life you choose a "term" which is the duration of your policy - how long your life insurance protection to last.

The shorter the policy "term", the lower your cost.

Term life usually offers coverage lasting for a period of up to 30 years, but you may be able to choose term for 10, 15, 20, 25 or 30 years of coverage.

Permanent life insurance is the other type of policy, and costs up to 5 to 10 times more for the same amount of coverage as term life, because permanent provides lifetime protection and builds up some cash value inside your plan over the years.
