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.
Women have longer life expectancies than men (about 5-6 years on average). Since insurers pay death benefits later on average, premiums are lower. A 40-year-old woman might pay 20-30% less than a 40-year-old man for identical coverage.
