Re: [TSPStrategy] Life insurance

Is there an open season when you can drop your insurance after your in retirement to avoid the big increases that come with some of the options on certain years?   I believe the rates jump up big at 60?

I currently have outside life insurance 20 year term policy through USAA for 500k for 20 years to cover my kid growing up if something were to happen.  Also have FEGLI at a lower amount.

I also had "outside" term life, which was initiated when I was younger and had a very young family. It was $500K w/ annual cost of $360, 20 year term with convertible option. Then picked up FEGLI during last open season to make sure I have it to carry through retirement. Total FEGLI premium cost over the entire term (with the 75% reduction) is less than the final payout. Totally recommend this strategy for younger generation - only difference is outside term life will require health exam (so do while you're young) and FEGLI doesn't require one.
