Life insurance for every life stage
You should routinely examine your life insurance policy. Why? Because as things in your life change, so does your need for life insurance. These “life events” should trigger you to do so if you’re not already looking at your policy ever few years.
Just about any life event you can imagine will have an impact on your life insurance needs. An obvious example is having a child. If something happens to you, where’s the money going to come from to help provide the kind of upbringing you want your child to have?
Some other life events that should trigger you to re-examine your life insurance needs include:
• Having a child
• Getting married
• Buying a home
• Taking on debt
• Changing jobs
• Supporting aging parents
• Changes in your business
• Changes in marital status
• Planning for college
• Planning for retirement
When re-examining your needs, you may want to use a life insurance needs calculator to see how changes in your life might impact your life insurance needs. Once you have a general sense of your needs, you should contact an agent or broker to get a more throrough analysis of your needs.
