With Permanent policies you pay your premiums on a monthly/annual basis and your money earns interest and builds cash value, and then the Insurance Company takes out the cost of Insurance monthly

Permanent coverage costs more but that is to make up for a higher cost of insurance later …your money earns interest and builds cash value to offset high Insurance costs later in life…a permanent policy for someone may be $ 30 per month at age 20 in comparison to a term policy which may only be $10 per month - the difference is later when the term becomes unaffordable

Term Insurance is just pure cost of Insurance and only covers a certain period of time depending on the term…. 1,5,10,15,20, 30 years. The major problem with term is losing your coverage when you need it most
And that is when you are older…for instance for coverage of $100,000

Cost of Insurance at age 20 may be……………………….. $ 10 per month
   Age 30 may be………………………. $ 20 per month
   Age 40 may be………………………. $ 35 per month
   Age 50 may be………………………. $ 60 per month
   Age 60 may be………………………. $ 100 per month
   Age 70 may be ……………………… $ 200 per month
And these rates are usually only available to HEALTHY PEOPLE any change in health may leave you totally uninsurable at later ages….all it takes is a little- High Blood Pressure, Diabetes any life changing disease and you may not qualify for reasonable insurance at any age 
*PLEASE NOTE THESE ARE NOT REAL RATES JUST AN ANALOGY OF HOW LIFE INSURANCE WORKS*

Life Insurance costs are paid either now or later and if you need it for a life time you are better off paying now when you can afford it!!!
