Here's why you really need life insurance:
Life Insurance is the foundation of financial security for you and your family. It protects your financial resources against the uncertainties of life so you can plan for the future.
Make Sure Your Loved Ones Don't Suffer Financial Hardships In Case You Die Prematurely!
As the main breadwinner in your family, what will happen to your family's standard of living after your death?
How are they going to pay the mortgage, the living expenses, education expenses, and so on?
Do you worry that they will suffer serious financial hardship along with the emotional strain of losing you!
With the miracle of life insurance; you can assure that in case of your premature death, your family will have the funds to continue their lives and not be suddenly faced with all the expenses without resources to pay for them.
If you have loved ones who depend on you financially then you know that your earning ability is your most important asset. You also know that your family will lose this vital asset if you die prematurely. By purchasing Life Insurance for yourself, you can insure that your family will be taken care of and will not suffer unwarranted financial strain.
We are responsible for our family's finances and work everyday to provide for them. We know we can easily fulfill this responsibility even after our death by purchasing life insurance for ourselves.
Then why do we not have enough or any life insurance?
Let's look at the 3 main reasons.
We think we have plenty of time.
We have a two income household, and feel that the other income earner will be able to adequately provide for the family.
We have other assets and do not think there is a need for additional insurance
Let me share with you what Winston Churchill, the late British Prime Minister, once said about insurance.
"If I had my way, I would write the word insurance over the door of every house, because I'm convinced, for sacrifices that are inconceivably small, families can be secured against catastrophes which otherwise would smash them up forever."
We think we have plenty of time!
It is natural to think that for all of life's activities. We can't enjoy life if we thought otherwise. We plan our next days, our work, our vacations, our lives, but must also plan for our death, as it is a fact of life. We all know the truth that all of us living on this planet are traveling on the road of life where there are no U-turns. Even so, 40% of the families in the U.S do not own any life insurance at all.
We know we are going to die, just don't know when, we don't even know if we have another day. We must plan for the future right NOW! I can enjoy life with peace of mind knowing that my family will be fine financially in case I suffer an untimely death. Every family must consider life insurance an investment and not an expense and it's payment a priority. It should not come last in your monthly payments so that there is not a chance of losing your coverage due to non-payment. Get it while you are young and healthy when all the insurance companies will offer it to you for low premiums. Don't wait till you develop an unforeseen illness before looking for coverage because insurance companies will not offer coverage then.
We have a two-income household and the surviving income earner will be able to provide for the family!
This statement is only true for very few households. Most of us live according to our income and our standard of living is dependent on both salaries. Imagine your lifestyle if you lost half of your income. How will your family manage? What if both of you died together? Who will take the responsibility for your children or other dependents? With life insurance on both wage earners, you will at least not have to worry about how your family will fare financially if they lost you.
We have other assets to provide for our family!
Calculate your assets and associated liabilities. How much will be left over to pay for your family's living expenses? Also, if most of your assets are non cash; such as properties, business, long-term investments etc, then it will take time to covert them to cash; what will your family do to pay for their daily expenses; will they have to sell some assets for less than their value for quick cash? With life insurance you will have the confidence that your family will receive the tax free death benefit to maintain their lifestyle and plan their future.
