Life Insurance 101

Image
 We would never own a home without homeowners' insurance. We would never drive a car without car insurance. Heck, most of us wouldn’t even own a smartphone without insurance. These insurances safeguard our investments, our liabilities, and our peace of mind. So, how could we ever justify living life without life insurance ? Life insurance does more than just provide a death benefit; it ensures your family’s financial security and stability when they need it most.

I had an interesting conversation today with parents who questioned the rationale behind purchasing life insurance for your children or encouraging young adults (18-25) to consider life insurance for themselves. When considering whether to buy life insurance for children, it's essential to look beyond the immediate necessity and consider the long-term benefits and security it provides. Here are several key points to address the question, "Why should I buy life insurance for my children?" Financial Security and Future Insurability Life insurance for children guarantees their insurability in the future. By securing a policy now, you lock in coverage regardless of any health issues that may arise later in life. This is particularly important if there are hereditary health concerns or a family history of medical conditions that could make obtaining insurance more difficult or expensive in adulthood. Building Cash Value Many life insurance policies for children, such as whole ...
