There are different insurance products, which a person can purchase. The choice depends on the amount that a person is willing and able to invest. Term insurance is offered for a fixed period. The beneficiaries receive the amount upon the death of the person insured. Some policies have provisions that enable the beneficiaries to benefit when a person becomes disabled permanently. Whole life insurance has the benefit of providing lifelong protection. Individuals who choose to purchase direct purchase insurance pay lower premiums and they do not have to pay any commission.

The benefits of life insurance are not only realized after death. Products can offer optional benefits such as assistance in health payments when one develops a terminal disease. Many families have gone bankrupt and they have realized a change in fortunes when a member has been diagnosed with terminal diseases. Life insurance prevents this from happening.

Occupations that appear risky such as car racing and policing can determine the ease with which a person gets insurance and the premiums they pay.
