Life Insurance Isn’t One Size Fits All

It’s time to debunk the myth that life insurance is one size fits all and you only need it when you’re older. In fact, life insurance is a very nuanced topic that’s influenced by a variety of individual personal factors, and your insurance needs will evolve throughout your life. A young, healthy, single individual will likely require less coverage than an older person with a family, a mortgage and nearing plans for retirement. Just as no two people are the same, no two life insurance policies should be the same, either. Working with an insurance agent can help you uncover the policy options that are best for you.

Finding The Right Fit

Your life insurance policy will be affected by a variety of personal characteristics, such as your age, gender, marital status, overall health and even your lifestyle, if you happen to enjoy any particularly risky hobbies. Taking a look at these combined factors can help determine what type of life insurance policy and coverage amount is best for you.

Making Adjustments

As you move through life's stages, your life insurance needs are likely to change. The amount of coverage you need is affected by life events such as getting married, having children, purchasing a home and even changing jobs. For example, the coverage you need when you’re 25 and single is likely to be quite different from how much you’ll need when you’re 45 and married with three kids.

Tailored to Your Unique Goals

You and your family’s financial goals will also play a role in customizing your life insurance policy. Providing financial security for your family, paying off a mortgage or debt, planning for children's education or retirement or covering your small business are all examples of important purposes for ensuring you have the right coverage in place.
