Life is an amazing journey full of challenges and triumphs. No matter where you are on the journey, preparing can be a key part of success.

Take the time to review your current life insurance coverage or, if you do not yet have life coverage, consider what role it can play in your personal finances.

What are the top three reasons for not owning insurance?

  • 78 percent of people who don’t own life insurance say they have other financial priorities.
  • 54 percent say they’re not sure how much they need or what type to buy.
  • 52 percent say that life insurance is too expensive.

What are the potential benefits of owning life insurance?

Life insurance can play a big role in your overall financial strategy.

  • Income support: Your policy may be able to provide financial support to people who depend on you.
  • Debt management: Life payouts can be used to pay off your mortgage or your child’s college education.
  • Legacy strategy: Life insurance can play a role in estate management and perhaps help you leave a legacy for your loved ones.

Remember, several factors affect the cost and availability of life insurance, including age, health, and the type and amount of insurance purchased. Any guarantees associated with a policy are dependent on the ability of the issuing insurance company to continue making claim payments.
