Great Question,

Several factors are involved in determining how cheap your cheap term life insurance will be. Your age and your general state of health are big considerations. The younger and healthier you are, the less you will pay. If you are overweight and/or are a smoker, expect your rates to be higher. The life insurance coverage period matters, too.

And believe it or not, your occupation has a lot to do with how cheap your term life insurance is going to be. The more likely you are to die while on the job, the more the insurance company will want to charge.

Dean,
Ensure you purchase enough cover to cover all your debts – such as mortgages – in the event of something happening to you. This can help provide stability and financial peace of mind to those closest to you.
Consider purchasing two separate single life insurance policies rather than a joint policy. By paying a little more to take out two polices you can not only double the cover but also ensure that your partner is covered against the same circumstances, and that your family will be covered should anything happen to either of you.
By doing a bit more research into term life insurance policies you can help yourself when you’re shopping around for a policy, as any cover you have at the moment could mean you don’t need as much additional cover, and could therefore save yourself some money.

Excellent Question.
