When should I buy life insurance

The adage in life insurance is, you will never find cheaper insurance rates than today.  Every birthday will see price increases.


Purchasing life insurance while you're young and in good health can help you secure lower premiums. Your best option is to obtain life insurance as soon as it becomes a necessity in your life. Life events such as marriage, the birth of a child, and even the launch of a new business can trigger the need for a policy.

What is Life Insurance

Life insurance is a legal contract between you and the insurance company. In return for making monthly or annual payments over the duration of the contract, you are protected for the time period specified in the contract. Should you pass away while the policy is in effect, your designated beneficiary will receive a cash sum. This sum, known as the death benefit, can be used by your beneficiary in a variety of ways. They might use it to cover final expenses, pay off the remainder of your mortgage, or assist your family with any financial obligations. In the majority of cases, the death benefit is exempt from taxes.

Why Do I Need Life Insurance

Life insurance is designed to protect your family. Would they be financially equipped to manage the household expenses should you no longer be there to assist with the family bills? If you have debts or a mortgage, can your family afford to cover these expenses in your absence?


Life insurance offers cash benefits to help cover these costs, ensuring your family doesn't face financial difficulties during an already difficult time. We believe that purchasing life insurance is a loving gesture towards those you cherish.

2)   Do you know the termination date of your policy?
3)   Do you know what your cash account value is?
4)   Do you know if your cash account is still growing and at what rate?
5)   Are you aware whether there will be any rate adjustment for your premium?

7)   Do you have an automatic loan provision on your policy? 
8)   Do you know whether the insurance company is allowed to withdraw money from your cash account for any reason?
9)   Does your insurance company have any riders and are you being charged a premium for those riders?
