Do I need life insurance?
If anyone in your life counts on you financially, yes. The proceeds from your policy could help replace your income so your family and those left behind can continue on with their lives. Ideally, your policy should be enough to take care of their immediate and long-term financial needs.
How much does life insurance cost?
The cost is based on a number of factors. From the insured’s age and health status to the amount and duration of coverage. You’ll want to be sure to take into account all of your family’s immediate and long-term expenses.
