Life Insurance: 2 Common Misconceptions

Life Insurance: 2 Common Misconceptions

Did you know there are two common misconceptions about life insurance?

  1. People often think life insurance is more expensive than it really is.
  2. Many people think they don’t need life insurance when they are younger. 

These two common misconceptions could cost you thousands of dollars over the life of your policy.

We understand that when you are young and healthy it’s hard to think about putting life insurance in place to take care of your family when you pass away.  No one really wants to think about their mortality. 

We want to help you see why it’s a smarter choice financially to get life insurance when you’re younger.  We are going to break down a typical $250,000 term life insurance policy cost from age 20 to age 50 for men and women on a 10 year term policy.  You will be shocked to see the difference.  We can offer a 5 year simplified issue with only having to answer a few heath questions, up to a 30 year term policy with the option to extend the policy for an additional term period.

Male                                                                      Female

Age 20: $28.81 per month                            Age 20: $16.98 per month

Age 25: $23.65 per month                            Age 25: $18.49 per month

Age 30: $24.08 per month                            Age 30: $19.56 per month                           

Age 35: $28.38 per month                            Age 35: $22.57 per month

Age 40: $35.90 per month                            Age 40: $26.23 per month

Age 45: $46.44 per month                            Age 45: $32.68 per month

Age 50: $64.93 per month                            Age 50: $44.07 per month

In the example above, if you waited to start a life policy at age 50 instead of age 20, you’d pay $4,334 more over the policy term for a man and $3,250 more for a woman.  Life Insurance is the best way to guarantee some financial stability for your family after you’re gone.
