LIFE INSURANCE
LIFE INSURANCE ISN'T FOR YOU - IT'S FOR THOSE YOU LEAVE BEHIND
If helping your loved ones avoid financial hardship is important, life insurance coverage should be part of your financial plan. It can protect their standard of living and provide critical support after your passing.
As a general guideline, you may want life insurance coverage equal to five to seven times your annual gross income. This provides a safety net to cover expenses like mortgage payments, college tuition, or everyday living costs.
When choosing life insurance, you’ll typically choose between two types: Term Life Insurance and Permanent Life Insurance.
Term vs. Permanent Life Insurance
Term life insurance covers a specific period, such as 10, 20, or 30 years. It pays your beneficiaries only if you pass away during that time.
This type of insurance is often more affordable and suitable for temporary needs like income replacement or debt coverage.
Permanent life insurance, by contrast, stays in effect for your entire life, as long as you continue to pay premiums. It may also include a cash value component that grows over time.
Each type of policy has unique advantages depending on your financial goals, family situation, and legacy planning needs.
Life insurance benefits can provide more than just peace of mind - they can offer your family financial security when it matters most.
