Should I Convert Term Life Insurance to Permanent?

Should you convert term life insurance to permanent coverage?

Term life is typically lower cost for a set period and better if you only need coverage for a defined window. This overview compares the two and outlines how to evaluate your needs, health, and budget to choose the right path.
