Many people view life insurance simply as a \u201cdeath-benefit,\u201d a way to protect their family and loved ones in case they were to pass away. Upon a closer look, however, you\u2019ll discover that there is a world of potential uses and strategies for life insurance that go far beyond the traditional approach.<\/p>\n
The primary feature of life insurance, the death benefit, isn\u2019t for those who have died\u2014it\u2019s for those who are left behind. When shopping for life insurance, consider needs such as replacing income so your family can maintain its standard of living, as well as paying for your funeral and estate costs. As a rule of thumb, you should seek coverage between five and seven times your gross annual income. As far as the various types of policies go, they can generally be placed into one of two categories: Term and Permanent. It\u2019s important to understand the differences between them to find what\u2019s best for you.<\/p>\n
While many people don\u2019t like talking about or thinking about life insurance, it\u2019s important to discuss nevertheless. Life insurance can truly be a valuable tool and strategy with your financial planning. If you\u2019ve got an older policy that needs to be reviewed, or are thinking about life insurance for the very first time, let\u2019s get together and talk.<\/p>\n
