How much does life insurance cost?
Did you know:
The younger and healthier you are, the lower your annual premium may be! If you wait, you may develop a medical condition that will make you uninsurable or substantially increase your rates.
Employer-provided life insurance may end if you lose or change jobs and may not meet your goals and needs.
Why buy life insurance for a child or grandchild?
The earlier the policy starts, the longer the policy has to accumulate value. As your child grows, so does the cash value of the policy.
Guaranteed insurability–As an adult, your child’s health or occupation may prevent him or her from qualifying for life insurance. A juvenile life insurance policy can ensure coverage for your child or grandchild into adulthood, even if their health or lifestyle changes.
The earlier the coverage begins, the lower the cost may be.
Continuation of coverage–In the event of your death, an optional payor benefit may be available that could cover the premium payments for you.
I have life insurance with my work, so why would I need life insurance?
- Does the policy continue after my retirement?
- Does the policy cover your spouse or just you? If it is only you, you probably want to consider a policy for your spouse?
- What if I’m laid off? Life insurance cost goes up the older you are, so it is best to lock in at a young age.
- Do you have enough life insurance? Depending on the type of insurance your employer is offering, it is usually only 1 or 2 years of your salary. Will that cover the cost to maintain your lifestyle, pay off the mortgage, and send your children to college?
