Universal life allows you to adjust premium payments within policy limits. You can pay more during high-earning periods to accelerate cash value growth, or reduce payments during tighter times as long as the policy maintains sufficient value to cover internal costs. This flexibility is one of universal life's key advantages, though it requires periodic review to ensure the policy stays adequately funded. A licensed agent in our network can help you understand the funding requirements.
Yes! Employer coverage is a great benefit, but it's usually insufficient (typically 1-2x salary for tech workers earning $150K+) and disappears if you change jobs. With remote work's high job mobility and Tennessee's tech hiring surge, personal coverage ensures continuous protection regardless of employment.
