What Is Life Insurance And How Does It Work?
Life insurance creates an immediate sum of money to pay your mortgage, debts, college for your children, and even replace lost retirement income for your spouse. These are all great reasons why you would want to objectively seek coverage. There is nothing that provides more peace of mind than knowing your loved ones will be ok when life happens. Life insurance is simple. You agree to pay a premium to a life insurance company and in return, they pay a sum of money to your dependents if you're not there. It's that simple. There are numerous types of policies available each with different benefits that will appeal to to various people. But don't get too lost in the weeds at this point though. You know that you have a need and that's the best place to start. I walk you through what works best for you and your needs based on your budget so that you're completely happy and satisfied with what you have.

Do I Need Life Insurance?
Not everyone needs life insurance. If you're young with no debts and no one who depends on you, you can probably wait until later to get it. If you're a husband or wife with children and especially if you're the sole income earner in the family, it is crucially important for you to have something in place. Every day there are families who are left with few options for survival with the loss of the main breadwinner. Crowd funding sites are full of requests for people who didn't have enough money to bury family members much less pay off a mortgage or provide a replacement of income to ensure the family has enough to survive.
