Understanding Life Insurance Basics
Life insurance is primarily intended as a financial safety net for those who depend on your income or support. The payout from a policy is made to your chosen beneficiary, often to replace lost income or fund necessary expenses if you pass away. The common misconception is that the benefit is meant for the deceased, whereas it actually serves to support the living. This means that anyone with dependents or liabilities should carefully consider obtaining a policy to ensure their loved ones are financially secure in their absence.
