    Suze Orman says that Term Life Insurance is the only type of life insurance to buy. She recommends buying a length of term that suits the need for which it was purchased. E.g. If protecting a child who is 13, purchase a 10 year term policy. She says to buy 20 times the amount of annual income that your dependents would need to survive without you. That way they can invest the principal and live off the interest.

    Suze is a major proponent of term life insurance. She has not been a fan of permanent forms of life insurance, especially participating whole life insurance. If most cases, where people have retired their debt, secured their future obligations and have no charitable intent, term life insurance with an option to convert may be the approach to take in a defensive planning strategy. But many people have ongoing liabilities that exceed term life insurance periods of coverage or are limited by the age of the consumer. So permanent forms of life insurance could make sense.
