Is life insurance worth it?
(ARA) - There are many reasons to get a life insurance policy. When you're gone, life insurance can replace your income, pay your final expenses, leave an inheritance for your loved ones and provide a contribution to your favorite charitable organization. Even with all this in mind, how do you know that life insurance is a good deal?
Does life insurance match your needs?Think about why you are
buying life insurance. Will it be used to cover debts, funeral expenses, taxes or to leave a legacy? If you're purchasing a type of life insurance that you don't need or that doesn't accomplish your goals, then it's a bad deal no matter how inexpensive it is.
If, for example, you want to make sure your spouse and children have an income until the kids are grown, then level term life insurance that covers many years is a good investment. If you want to ensure final expenses are paid for, then guaranteed whole life insurance likely makes the most sense.
PriceWhen it comes to life insurance, price is important, but it isn't everything. Shop around and compare plans and rates, just as you would with any other product. However, pay attention to how highly rated a company is, how long they've been in business and the customer service they provide. Life insurance is a highly specialized product, so find a company you trust and don't just go for the cheapest price.
