Life insurance is not only the cornerstone of a solid financial plan, but it’s hands down one of the most cost effective ways to protect the people who depend on you financially. What would happen to your family if you were to die prematurely? Would they be able to maintain their current lifestyle? Would your kids be able to go to college? Would your spouse be able to shoulder the load with one income? If you have a child, are married, or you are carrying any kind of debt, purchasing life insurance is a no-brainer.
What can life insurance cover?
