What to consider before buying life insurance

Hero Image

Planning for your financial future comes with a lot of moving parts, and one of the most important pieces is life insurance,—t's all about making sure your loved ones are taken care of financially if something happens to you. Before you sign up, there are a few things you should consider, like your current financial situation, your future goals, the type of life insurance you need, the coverage amount, and finding a premium that fits your budget.

Define your goals and needs

Start by taking a good look at where you are financially. This will help you figure out what type of coverage you need. Next, think about your financial goals for the future. Ask yourself: Who depends on your income? It could be your spouse, kids, or even your parents. Also, what debts do you have that might burden them, like a mortgage or student loans? And finally, what future expenses should you plan for, like your kids' education?
