Why do I need to buy Life Insurance?
Darrell
Austin, TX.
Great Question.
You should start thinking about buying a life insurance policy if you have children under the age of 18, if you are just in the family planning stages or if you have already decided that having a child isn’t right for you. Life insurance is also a good idea if you have adult children who for one reason or another still rely on you financially.
If your family depends on the money you earn, buying a life insurance policy is one way to ensure they’ll continue to receive financial benefits even after you die. But what if you’re a stay-at-home mom or dad? You technically don’t earn a paycheck so you don’t contribute financially to the family. Do you still need to buy a life insurance policy? The answer is yes and here’s why.
Your loss of life will be felt in other ways. Take a moment to think how much it would cost your surviving spouse to hire all the services you provide on a daily basis: personal chef, scheduler, errand runner, event planner, financial planner, tutor, and all the other roles you play in your family’s life.
Life insurance can help your surviving spouse cover these expenses so your family can continue with the quality of life to which they’ve become accustomed.

Can I get cheap Life Insurance for my children?
Dan
Austin, TX.
Dan,
Cheap life insurance is practically guaranteed if the insured is a child. Yes, as terrible as it may sound, even a child can get a policy in his or her name. Many people are taken aback by the thought of purchasing life insurance for their children or their grandchildren.
After all, life insurance benefits are not paid out until a person dies, and no one likes to consider the very real truth that children can die too. Death is not something that is reserved for the elderly. Life insurance for a child is cheap, and if you are purchasing it for yourself, you should expect that your insurance agent will at least mention this opportunity.
No one likes to think about it
Unfortunately, children are not immune to death. It can happen to any child, at any time.
