The best life insurance policy is one that offers you the most coverage at the lowest price.

Life insurance is a contract between you and your insurance company. The amount of coverage, or death benefit, determines how much money your beneficiaries will get when you die. This amount is determined by factors like age and health, as well as how much you have saved for retirement and what kind of investment portfolio you have.

The primary factor in determining how much life insurance coverage you need is how long you expect to live. If you know that your life expectancy is 30 years or more, then a term policy (such as whole life) will likely be the best option for you because it provides less expensive rates than cash value policies (which offer a higher initial value).

If you don't know how long you'll live but instead want to build up some savings toward retirement or college tuition costs, a term policy may not be right for you either because they tend to charge higher premiums than cash value policies do.

Instead, look into cash value plans which can provide a larger death benefit at lower monthly premiums than standard term policies do - just make sure that it's one with low-fee options so that it doesn't cost high..

Generally speaking, there are two types of life insurance, term life and whole life. If possible, you will have to buy these two policies as one policy will ensure your life that you can use during your lifetime and another will be beneficial to your family members. If you cannot afford to have these two policies and are required to choose one of them, you will have to see which one will provide more value to you. If you are young and without a family term life will be a good choice, if you are in middle age and have a family get whole life.
