Contact Jack Mayer, and I will be able to assist you and answer all your questions. Term life would be the answer here, but many people, depending on their age and health, cannot qualify. You need to speak to an agent who can assist you and speak to any writer to see how you may come in for an application if it is even taken.

For a healthy non-smoker in their 30s or 40s, a $500,000 20-year term life insurance policy typically costs between $23 and $60 per month. Permanent whole life coverage for the same amount is significantly more expensive, running $300 to $700+ per month depending on your age, health, and tobacco use.

Age, your sex, and your health would determine the cost for a $500,000 life insurance policy. A term to age 120 would be the cheapest option and a whole life policy with cash value to policy would be more expensive.
