Life Insurance: If You Died Tomorrow, Could Your Loved Ones Survive Financially Without You?

Death is a fact of life. It’s unpleasant to think about, something most people would prefer to avoid contemplating altogether, but it’s still true… sooner or later, we all die. The only questions are when it will happen and how prepared we will be when the time comes.

There’s no way to know the answer to the first question, but the second question is something you absolutely can control and should— if love is putting someone else’s happiness and well-being before your own, then there is no greater act of love than making sure your loved ones will be taken care of after you are gone.

It’s something you do not for yourself, but for them.

Life Insurance 101

Why do you need life insurance, and what are some of the basic types of policies available?

The I’s on Insurance: Life Insurance

Life insurance is a vital part of your family’s financial stability and well-being. But if you’re like most people, you probably have questions about what types and amounts of life insurance are best for your needs. Planning for your family’s future isn’t just about money; it’s about life.

Do You Understand the Basics of Life Insurance?

Do you know the difference between Term and Whole life insurance? Permanent versus Variable policies? Renewable Term versus Convertible Term? Make sure you understand the basics about life insurance– many people don’t.

What Can Life Insurance Do for You?

There are 3 primary ways life insurance can help you achieve your financial objectives:

  • Income Replacement

  • Savings, Growth & Income

  • Charitable Giving

Life insurance is a cost-effective way to shelter your loved ones from the financial consequences of losing you. It replaces the income you would have earned, so that they don’t have to struggle with a devastating financial loss in addition to the terrible emotional loss they will experience without you.

Money can never replace your love, but it is an expression of your love that can free them from financial worry while they are mourning and throughout their lives.

Depending on the type of policy you choose, you may also be able to use a life insurance policy as a vehicle for savings, growth and income. Some policies accrue cash value against which you can borrow, and your policy’s value may also grow with the market and/or generate income.

Life insurance can also be part of your charitable giving strategy for your estate: you can gift some kinds of life insurance policies or their proceeds to the charity of your choice as part of your estate if your loved ones’ needs will be met in other ways.
