Premiums are traditionally paid annually and premiums are level for life. Straight Life insurance has cash values and is sometimes used as another name for Whole Life.

    The term straight life insurance is kind of a slang term with whole life insurance. The whole life insurance is set up near a minimum premium level calculation that takes the cash value from the whole life to pay premiums in later years to level your premiums for your lifetime. In other words, it is making a lifetime term life insurance policy out of a whole life insurance policy. The concept is to keep your premiums the same for your lifetime for the same face amount.
