How much do I need?

1. The basic recommendation is 10 times your pay.

2. Calculate all debts and add potential costs of college, vehicles, other gifts and determine a grand total.

3. The amount that is required to fill any gaps between now and a designated time in the future.

What type of policy should I get?

That depends on your long term goals, health concerns, and current situation.

There are three fundamental types:

Term:

Coverage is quoted for a specified term(period of time)
The lowest cost way to get maximum coverage
After the term has concluded, the renewals are quite high
No cash value(however, return of premium and other riders are available to provide a modified cash value)

Permanent with no cash value:

Protection until the age of 95 or 105(depending on policy), as long as premiums are paid
Intended to cover those that have a long term commitment(divorce decree, etc) or are concerned about their financial future
A great option if there is a concern about having a critical diagnosis in the future(cancer, etc) that would make them uninsurable (or excessive premiums) in the future
Numerous options available
Because the coverage guarantee goes far beyond term policies, the premium is higher. However, in later years this coverage can provide a significant financial benefit.

Permanent with cash value:

This is designed to cover you regardless of the age attained
Intended to cover those that have a long term commitment(divorce decree, etc) or are concerned about their financial future
