Which life insurance fits Parkland households
Term life insurance
Parkland families often need large term life insurance policies: ten times the median household income alone is about $2 million, before the mortgage and college costs.
Whole life insurance
Whole life insurance is used for permanent needs, such as estate costs or a guaranteed inheritance, usually alongside term.
Indexed universal life (IUL)
Indexed universal life appeals to some high earners who have maxed out other savings. It can work in a long-term, well-funded plan, and we review the illustration’s caps and charges with you.
Final expense insurance
Final expense insurance is uncommon here, usually for parents who live with or near their adult children.

| What the policy covers | Amount |

Many Parkland families also add private school or college costs for each child, which can push the total well past $3 million. At that size, it is common to split coverage between two policies, or between spouses, rather than buy one very large policy.
