Over time, you can accumulate a cash savings balance, and you may borrow against this if you encounter hardship. Money will typically be lent to you at an interest rate lower than most banks can offer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>However, this must be paid back and subtracted from the death benefit if you pass away while a balance is outstanding.&nbsp;If you are young, this cash savings component can grow over time, giving you options should you face a difficult life circumstance.<\/p>\n<p>It is not legally required in the Hope Hills, NC area to purchase life insurance, but it is voluntary.
