When should I get life insurance?
Life insurance is best to protect the people you love from being devastated financially. You many want to get the process underway sooner rather than later. Find more about it here.
There are three situations that indicate you should find a life insurance policy if you don’t have one already.
- You are expecting a child: This is critical because your child will be financially dependent on you. You want to be sure they are taken care of.
- You have joint expenses with a spouse: This is especially important if your partner can’t cover the costs alone. You may have joint expenses, like a mortgage that is based on your combined earnings. Without life insurance, your spouse would assume full responsibility.
- You support an aging family member: If something were to happen to you, the family member you care for would be left without care. Even if you don’t support them financially, you could add them as a beneficiary so they have the funds to find care in case of your passing.
