Yes, I know that you said that yours is 10 years, but please bear with me for the sake of my example.
Do you understand that the "term" in "term life insurance" is a very, VERY important detail? If you carry the term out to where there is an actuarial likelihood (or certainty!) of death, then yes, term life insurance does get radically more expensive. If you cover a) someone's working career or b) someone's expected career with a particular company, term life insurance remains quite inexpensive.
