Life Insurance Tips
If anyone depends on your income, meaning that if it suddently stopped it would cause them a financial burden, then you should have life insurance. You are providing for them because you love them, why let that stop?
2 Basic Types of Life Insurance
- term - inexpensive, great for a period of time, expires at the end so if you don't use it (that's the plan, right?) then the premiums are lost
- permanent - more of an investment, but can grow value over time, withdraw all cash without tax consequences, eliminate the need to separately buy long term care insurance, and guaranteed to pay out when you pass away
