Fixed price Life Insurance premiums

No body likes to get a price increase letter from their insurance company, but most of us will get one.
Did you know that in your 50’s you can be getting increases of about 15% per year ?
This means that your life insurance is going to double in price every 6 years.
Think about it, paying double what you are paying now, its not a nice thought.
Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a fixed price life insurance premium you could have that takes away the surprise of an increase each year.

The reason your Life Insurance is increasing is because the most common type of Life insurance policy that you own automatically increases in price every year.  This type of premium is called “rate for age” or “stepped” and most life insurance policies sold today will be this way, the premium is linked to your age, so the older you get the more expensive your Life Insurance becomes.

When you arranged the Life Insurance the person probably didn’t even explain that you had an option on how the premium is calculated. You may find this annoying, and rightly so, the price of your insurance will start off affordable, but will eventually become very expensive. So over the life of the policy you will pay a lot of money.
Thats great for the insurance company, but not so great for you.

But there is another option, and its called a level premium, Level Life Insurance or Fixed price Life Insurance Premiums.
