How to Get Life Insurance on a Budget
You have options for affordable life insurance! Whether you aren’t sure that you can afford life insurance or just want to make sure you’re getting a good value for your money, we can help.
One big factor to consider is about the long-run: if the life insurance policy’s payout creates an unexpected tax bill, its planning may be less effective than you intended.
If you’ve been going without life insurance coverage because of the cost—despite a desire to protect your loved ones—these tips could help you buy the right life insurance for your budget.
Term life insurance covers temporary needs.
Term life insurance is typically far less expensive than permanent coverage because it expires after a set number of years. Common uses include replacing one partner’s income during their working years, covering the term of a mortgage or covering the period until minor children become independent adults.
Permanent life insurance covers unending needs.
Permanent policies cost more because they’re guaranteed to pay a death benefit if you don’t let your policy lapse. They’re often used to provide for dependents with lifelong special needs or to cover final expenses that survivors would struggle to afford. Examples include whole life and burial insurance.
Get creative to meet your unique situation!
You can cover some of your needs with term and others with permanent insurance. You can buy several term policies of varying lengths and amounts. You can supplement workplace coverage with individual coverage.
Don’t disqualify yourself.
Different insurers will evaluate the same health conditions as higher or lower risk. If one company rejects you or offers unaffordable coverage, doesn’t mean you’re out of luck with all companies. That’s why working with an independent life insurance agent can make all the difference!
