Compare Term Life Insurance and Whole-of-Life Cover

Two kinds of life insurance, both promising to look after the people you leave behind, and a broker waiting to sell you one. This explains how term and whole-of-life differ, what each costs and covers, so you walk into that call knowing the questions. It's a guide with no commercial axe to grind. For anyone buying life cover for the first time.
