The Importance of Life Insurance

Life insurance is essential for ensuring financial security for loved ones, particularly for parents. Policies can be affordable, starting at $292 per year for substantial coverage, and many options are available online, streamlining the application process. This accessibility allows individuals to compare rates without undergoing extensive medical exams, making it easier to choose a suitable plan. Additionally, it's crucial to recognize that employer-provided life insurance may not sufficiently cover family needs and is typically lost when changing jobs.
