Frequently asked questions

Is this a quote?

No — these are educational ballpark estimates. For an actual quote, talk to a licensed agent or run a comparison platform.

Term or whole life?

Term is usually best for most families — cheap, simple, and right-sized to the working years. Whole life is far pricier and suits niche estate planning.

How much coverage do I need?

A common rule is 10–12× annual income, but DIME (Debts, Income, Mortgage, Education) gives a sharper number.

What's an HSA?

A Health Savings Account paired with a high-deductible plan — triple tax-advantaged for qualified medical expenses.

What's the elimination period on disability?

The waiting time before benefits start. Longer waits lower premiums.
