What to do with your term insurance policy as you head into retirement

term insurance in retirement

It’s no secret that life insurance becomes more expensive as we age. Premiums are related to the mortality rate and the decrease in our life expectancy as we get older is reflected in the increased premiums. What you may not realize is that this risk is not represented by a linear line. If you graph the probability of death from an actuarial life table, you would notice that the probability of death increases exponentially as we age. What this means for term insurance is that renewal premium also rises exponentially, such that they become unaffordable during retirement. So, what are your options for your term insurance policy as you head into retirement?

This ensures that you pay only for coverage you need while saving money in the process. It could end up saving you over $10,000!
