I did a mix of both. By the time they’re 20 you should have fewer expenses ahead of you and some level of personal wealth that allows you to self insure. There’s till college expenses so a 30 year policy makes sense.
The other consideration is additional kids. If you plan on having more a heavier weighting on the 30 year probably makes sense.

Didn’t know that was possible. Thanks!
I took out a 20 year at age 33. My plan is to have enough to retire by time the policy expires so shouldn’t need it past that.
Sure, but I'll need a much smaller amount for a much shorter period of time
A different take: take out a policy equal to the number of years remaining on your mortgage.
The decision boils down to your risk tolerance. The one you make is the right one.

Just bought a house so 30 years would make sense
I did a fixed rate T20 at age 31
Do term insurance companies honor the policy if you Geography changes when the need arises? Say you bought policy in US but 20 yrs later you were living in India and one passed away. Will insurance company honor the policy? Anyone checked this and have it in writing? Thanks
