Is Life Insurance Important?
If you have family members who depend on you financially, you should consider purchasing a life insurance policy. A life insurance policy can ensure that your loved ones maintain a financial safety net in the event of your death. Here are seven reasons why purchasing a life insurance policy is important.
Seven Reasons to Buy a Life Insurance Policy
Having adequate life insurance coverage is essential to ensuring your loved ones will have some financial peace of mind following your death. You should consider purchasing a life insurance policy if any of the following apply to you:
- You have a spouse
- You have children who depend on your income
- You have family members, including parents, who depend on your income

Comparing Life Insurance Options
What kind of life insurance policy should you purchase?
- Term life insurance is typically more affordable than permanent life insurance. You can buy coverage for specified periods of time, or "terms" that typically last between 5 and 30 years.
- Permanent life insurance is in place from the moment you buy them to the end of your life. There are a few different types of permanent life insurance plans, and their premiums tend to be more expensive than the premiums for term life insurance policies.
