Do I Need Life
Insurance?
Life
insurance is one of the best ways to stabilize your financial
future. It replaces wages that would be lost by the death of
an income earner. Life insurance also provides for expenses
that will surface when you die, so your loved ones aren't burdened
with the costs involved. One of the most critical features is
that beneficiaries won't be taxed when they receive what you've
left for them. There are a multitude of options when choosing
what type and how much life insurance you should put in place.
How Much Do I Need?
There
are a few factors that you and your family will need to
take into consideration when deciding what type and how
much life insurance to purchase.

needs at the time of death, burial costs, medical expenses,
and estate taxes

costs such as monthly bills and expenses, future planning
like retirement and children's college expenses.

your yearly income and multiply it by 5 or 6
