Do I Need Life Insurance?
Life insurance is not bought, it is sold. Who wakes up thinking, "Today is the day"? So the question is, "Do I need Life Insurance?" The answer depends on you and your family's needs.
Believe it or not, none of us are getting out of here alive. Ask yourself, "Will I outlive my responsibilities to my family?” If we only knew, it would make purchasing life insurance very easy.
In the event of an unexpected death, the needs and wants of each person's family varies. Here are several indicators that would make you an ideal candidate for life insurance:
- If you were married, how would your spouse replace the lost income?
- If you are a business owner, will it continue to prosper after your death?
- Do you have goals and wishes for your children that depend on your income?
- Do you have a handicapped adult child who still lives at home?
- Can my estate be eaten up by estate taxes, at my death?
- Do you currently have major loans or outstanding financial commitments that would be due at your death?
The prudent responsible person understands that death can happen at any time. A life insurance policy would ensure that quality of life for their family remains the same. A life insurance policy will go immediately to the beneficiaries, unlike other forms of inheritance.
There are two different types of life insurance, term and permanent. Which would best fit your needs? While term insurance is insurance for a stated period of time, permanent policies include a savings in their package. Choosing the right insurance for you and your family depends solely on your specific situation and budget.
How do I choose a term period for term life insurance? Since there are several different reasons for purchasing term life insurance, the term period would vary depending on your needs and budget. Your options are 10, 20, 30 or life periods.
