Do I Need Life Insurance?

There are many reasons to get life insurance, and RNI gives you a few to think about, especially if someone else is depending on you. Consider these common scenarios…

Getting Married?
  • Now that you have a spouse, are they dependent upon you for support?
  • What would happen if you or your spouse didn’t make it home?
  • Do you need a joint life insurance policy?
  • There are many things to consider about which policy is best for you now.
Baby on the way?
  • This is when young adults become aware that they may need life insurance to protect their children in case something happens.
  • You should start thinking about getting a policy sooner rather than later.

 

Are you supporting your aging parents?
  • Hopefully, your parents already have a life insurance policy.
  • You might want to check into life insurance with a long-term care rider if caring for your parents.
  • And what happens to them if you die before them? Will they be taken care of properly?

 

Self-employed?
  • What happens to your family if you’re the breadwinner and something happens to you?
  • You can get business-owned life and disability insurance policies.
  • Most financial institutions will require a policy if you get a business loan.
  • A decreasing term life insurance policy makes the bank the beneficiary to pay off the loan in case the owner dies.

 

High-risk occupation?
  • If your job is dangerous or in a high-risk environment, you have a greater chance of dying than say an office worker.
  • Check to see if your job has employer-provided group life insurance to insure your paycheck if you are disabled or die on the job.
