When it comes to life insurance, really what you want is to pay the smallest amount of money per month because, let’s face it, you will not be the one enjoying the payout because, well, you will have already passed away! While you may desire for your children and spouse or other loved ones to benefit financially from your death, being able to pay a smaller amount while you are living may ease the stress financially for you.
