3 Reasons Why Parents Need Life Insurance

For years my husband and I have talked about getting term life insurance, especially since we are a single income family and it something were to happen to either of us it would be very difficult. However, we’ve yet to purchase supplemental life insurance. We have a simple life insurance policy through my husband’s employer but it may not be enough to cover our needs. Life insurance is so important, especially when you have loved ones who depends on you.

Obviously life insurance allows your loved ones to continue to pay bills while they grieve but there are a few more reasons you should considering getting life insurance.

Protect Your Loved Ones

Aside from the grief your family would be dealing with your death would effect so many aspects of their lives. The loss of your income, your debt and the physical contributions you make to your family’s daily life. Caring for children, preparing meals, transportation, cleaning and much more will still need to be provided and may need to be outsourced. The cost of childcare can be astronomical and that additional cause is an unnecessary burden for your family. Life insurance can lessen the burden of daily expenses if something were to happen to you.

Cheaper When Younger

When you are younger you may qualify for a cheaper life insurance plan. Often young and healthy people skip life insurance not now is the time to sign up. Locking in a lower rate now while you are young will give you peace of mind for years to come.

High Cost of Funeral Expenses

The average cost of a funeral is between $7,000 to $10,000. If something were to happen to you would your family be able to pay those funeral expenses.

Previously, I’ve share ways to save money as a mom by budgeting and living economically but it’s also important to thing about your family’s future.
