Why is life insurance important?

Buying life insurance protects your spouse and children from the potentially devastating financial losses that could result if something happened to you. It provides financial security, helps to pay off debts, helps to pay living expenses, and helps to pay any medical or final expenses.

Benefits of having Life Insurance:

  • Income replacement for years of lost salary.
  • Paying off your home mortgage.
  • Paying off other debts, such as car loans, credit cards, and student loans.
  • Providing funds for your kids' college education.
  • Helping with other obligations, such as care for aging parents.
