Why is term life insurance the better alternative?
There are many reasons why term life insurance is the better alternative to mortgage life insurance. First, term life insurance is very affordable. For example, a 35 year old healthy male can get a $250,000 30-year policy from one of InsWeb's top rated companies for under $27 a month*.
