Term life insurance is cheaper than other insurance policy and as the name suggests you this type of life insurance program is taken for a certain period of term.

Which means that while you are living you wont get any benefits of the insurance, but when you die all the benefits are then passed on to the beneficiary.
One day my neighbor was driving a car and met with an accident on the highway with a trailer and died because of it. All the money that he had was used to take care of his hospitalization and funeral costs. He had practically saved nothing for his family's future. He had used the entire money for to buy a home and a car. He had also taken a huge home loan to make up with the deficit of the amount that he was falling short of.
Now after so many months of continuous treatment and medicines, along with not being paid from his job because of his absence, my friend is highly indebted person. He has taken a huge mortgage on his home and is not even able to repay the loan. Now he is in danger of losing his home also.
