I received this article on the importance of life insurance from Intelliquote.com and decided to share it. Having adequate life insurance can't bring your loved one back, but it can help provide you with financial security. I have numerous female friends who are living financially secure because their husbands had life insurance.
Whether it’s just you and your spouse or your family consists of a houseful of kids, a top priority for your peace of mind is having the right whole or term life insurance to make sure your loved ones are protected. Because there are so many options available, it’s easy to put off making a decision if you are overwhelmed with your choices or don’t properly understand them. The following 10 suggestions can help you make the right decision for you and your family.
- Get multiple insurance quotes that include all options or restrictions so you know exactly what is available.
- Stay away from any agent or organization that cannot or will not fully explain exactly what you are buying and why.
- Always remember that you are the client. At no point should you feel bullied or intimidated into buying something that you aren’t sure of.
- Though you certainly want to purchase adequate coverage, don’t over buy. If your premiums are too high to manage because of the extras that have somehow found their way into your policy, you will be much more apt to allow it to lapse.
- Once you find a company or agent that you are comfortable with, ask questions. The clearer you are on what type of life insurance rates and options are right for you, the easier it will be to agree on a package that suits your requirements.
- Consider life insurance for the whole family, not just the adults. Expenses that follow a death or serious illness or accident will add more stress to an already devastated family.
- Remember to regularly check your policy for changes that may affect you or your family. Almost all companies will send out notices to explain changes that they have made so make sure you review them.
- Review your policies relevance regularly and update as your family and their needs change.
- Consider your life insurance a fixed and non-negotiable expense in the same way you would your mortgage or car payment. It’s easy to consider life insurance as a luxury rather than a need, when in reality that is definitely not the case.
- Don’t be overwhelmed by “what if” or worst case scenarios.
Warmly,
