Whole Life vs Term Life vs Universal Life

I found a good post on a question that seems to confuse many people who are looking for life insurance: Term vs Whole Life vs Universal Life

I don't want to repeat the whole article, but it gives a basic outline of the three popular forms of life insurance, and which group of people might benefit the most from choosing one over the other.

Whole Life: Permanant - basically for people who want life insurance that does not expire, and that also builds a cash value. Costs more.

Term Life: Temporary from 1 to 30 years years generally. For people with a set limit of time that they need more coverage. I.e. a family to support or a mortgage.

Universal Life: Also an investment vehicle. Also Permanant Life insurance
