Permanent insurance-
the sure way3 to security
Consider the ease of a mad age 35 who is thinking of
buying a policy to provide security for his family.
Should he buy a permanent policy that guarantees an
estate no matter when he dies? Or is temporary
protection sufficient—say to age 65, when his children
are financially independent.
Naturally, every man's situation is somewhat different,
but as a general rule permanent insurance is the better
solution. Life expectancy figures provide one good
reason why. They show a man age 35 will probably
live to age 71. But the same figures indicate his wife,
age 35 now, will probably live to 75. if life insurance
is to help a man guarantee financial independence
for his wife after he dies, these figures indicate both
the limitations of temporary protection and why
permanent coverage is the sure way.
There are many other advantages of permanent
insurance. The Man from Manufacturers would be
pleased to give you the complete story.
