Consider term life insurance to provide education funds for your children

. Especially if you are a single parent, term life insurance is a very affordable type of protection that can provide for college costs and other expenses for your children. Once your kids have finished their education, you can drop the coverage.

Life insurance is a premium you will pay (we hope!)for a long time. Therefore it is important to consider affordability. But you don't want to let cost blind you to an equally important concern: trust. Can you trust this insurance agent? Does his company have the longevity and reliability you need?

You will want to find a life insurance company that cares. There are some life insurance companies that will offer competitive rates for some medical conditions (diabetes, heart disease and cancer). These companies are much more family friendly and don't just put everyone in a group. Their charge is based off of what you really need.
