It's simple - Term life is temporary coverage for a duration of 30 years or less.
The pros are that term life is cheap, easy-to-understand and offers flexible coverage which you get to select for a period of 10, 15, 20, 25 or 30 years to meet your needs and fit your budget.
The cons are that it is not an investment, it is pure protection. It does not build cash value inside the policy. It lasts for a specific period of time, it is not guaranteed to last your entire lifetime.
If you need coverage to last for a period of 30 years or less, term life may be a good option to consider.
