Term life provides coverage for a specific period (10-30 years) at lower premiums, while permanent life (whole/universal) offers lifetime coverage with higher premiums and a cash value component. Term is typically recommended for pure risk protection.
Benefits include lifelong coverage, guaranteed death benefit, tax-deferred cash value growth, potential dividends (with participating policies), and the ability to borrow against the cash value.
Mistakes include forgetting irregular expenses, being too rigid, not adjusting for changes, and neglecting to fund savings categories.
