When Should I Get Life Insurance Coverage?
If you provide financially for a loved one, you should consider a life insurance policy.
How Much Coverage Should I Get?
This depends on your financial situation. Here are some things to consider:
Income lost and expenses you want covered |
Outstanding debts |
The cost of raising your dependents |
College tuition |
Everyday bills and expenses |
Final medical bills and the cost of your funeral |
As your assets grow, you may not want/need as much life insurance.
What Type of Coverage is Right for Me?
Term life insurance provides coverage for a certain number of years (i.e. 10, 20, 30 years).
Traditional, permanent, or universal life insurance is active until you pass away as long as you are meeting the financial requirements.
Variable life insurance products are similar to traditional or universal policies with the ability to actively invest in the stock market.
Living Benefits of Life Insurance
One living benefit is the ability to use a portion of your death benefit if you become chronically or terminally ill.
