Term life insurance

$250,000 in coverage — often $15–20 a month*

The average guess is about 10x too high

LIMRA's 2025 industry research found adults 30 and under guess the cost of term life at ten to twelve times the real price — and that cost misconception is the most-cited reason younger buyers who want coverage never get it. Here's what it tends to actually look like.

Waiting is the expensive part

Rates are set by your age when you apply, then lock for the whole term. In the published examples above, a 40-year-old pays roughly double what a 30-year-old locks in for the identical policy — the same coverage simply costs less the earlier you take the three minutes.

Fair questions

Why do you need my phone number?

Real rates depend on your age, health, state, and the coverage you pick — printing a number before knowing those would just be a guess. Instead, Joshua goes through them with you — about fifteen minutes on the phone — and gives you real figures, not a marketing estimate.

What is term life insurance, in plain English?

You pick a coverage amount and a number of years — say $250,000 for 20 years. If you pass away during that time, the people you name get that money, generally free of income tax. If you outlive the term, the coverage simply ends. It costs a fraction of permanent life insurance because it only covers the years your family actually depends on your income.

Do I need a medical exam?

Many applicants don't — plenty of carriers now decide from your health answers alone. Approval and your rate still depend on those answers, and Joshua will tell you up front which path fits your situation.

How much coverage do I actually need?

A common starting point is enough to replace your income for the years someone depends on it — many people land somewhere around ten times their annual income, adjusted for the mortgage and the kids' ages. "I'm not sure" is a completely normal quiz answer; that math is exactly what Joshua helps you do.

What does it cost to find out?

Nothing. There's no cost to see your options and no obligation to buy. Agents are paid by the carrier if you choose to take a policy.

Three minutes to stop guessing

Answer the questions, pick a time, and get the real numbers from Joshua, a licensed agent — not an online estimate. If it isn't what you hoped, you've lost three minutes and gained a fact.
