Many people think that they only need life insurance as they get older and have a lot of financial obligations. However, you can still face death at any time of your life and it’s often best to have a plan in place in case of a worst-case scenario. Enrolling in life insurance early is not only a secure step, but it’s also a financially responsible decision.   You might not think that you have a lot to lose while you are young. However, even if you are just embarking on your life and career, you begin to accumulate financial assets from day one. You also have priorities, responsibilities and loved ones to take care of. You might not be thinking about your eventual death, which is hopefully decades away. However, the fact is that you could pass away at any moment. If you do, then you could leave certain obligations unattended. By having life insurance in place, you’ll have a resource available to help your loved ones, whoever they might be, settle your final affairs.With life insurance, you designate a certain amount of money to help a loved one be able to handle your final expenses or replace income lost as a result of your death. Often, a permanent life insurance policy (whole life insurance) is the best policy option to buy while you are young. Once you enroll in a whole life policy, the coverage will last indefinitely if you continue to pay your policy premium. Therefore, even as your life, health and financial situations change, you will still have a life insurance policy in place. Not only can the policy guarantee a death benefit that will pay out on your death, but it can also accumulate a cash value benefit that will allow you to accumulate savings that you might be able to use as a source of income later in life. Another life insurance benefit that might benefit you is a term life policy. This coverage only lasts for a certain number of years and is often more affordable than whole life coverage. If you want to use life insurance for a specific cost, such as funding a child’s education, then you can buy a term policy that lasts until your child finishes school. Many people who have multiple cost obligations such as mortgages, debts, student loans and other living costs buy term life policies to correspond with these expenses for as long as you have them. It generally is easier for you to buy a life insurance policy while you are still young because of the cost benefits. Not only is your health often better at this time, but your risk of death is also lower. Therefore, you are more likely to qualify for optimized coverage at affordable rates. Never hesitate to buy life insurance while you are still young enough to make it work. Call us today at (915) 599-2900 or visit www.mtfranklin.com to see how we can help you.
