How much life insurance should a person carry? The answer varies wildly, even among experts, but we know that “how much” changes as life changes. The important question to ask is, “How much insurance should you carry?” There are a variety of life circumstances that can influence your answer.
Generally, younger people have longer time horizons for which their families will need their income. During this time, your family may outgrow a house and children may head off to college, each with its own set of expenses. Even stay-at-home spouses offer financial help in the form of childcare and home care that you may have to pay for should the unthinkable occur.
On the other hand, maybe your children made it financially on their own from the start, your mortgage is shrinking and your debt load is low. Your income, however, may be at its highest point as you near retirement. Your life insurance should reflect that.
Then, once you reach retirement, you may think about reducing your life insurance benefit. However, some retirees still carry life insurance that offers cash value to supplement their income. Others want to leave life insurance as a legacy for loved ones and favorite charities.
Applications for life insurance are subject to underwriting. No insurance coverage exists unless a policy is issued and the required premium to put it in force is paid.
