1. Term rates have been steadily falling over the past 10 or so years so it made financial sense to replace an older policy to get a lower premium.

2. As you get older, your need for life insurance gradually diminishes so when I replaced my existing policy, I also reduced the coverage amount, which helped the premium as well.
