How to Budget for Life Insurance

Make Life Insurance Fit Into Your Budget

Are you in the market for a life insurance policy? If so, you may be thinking that you’ll buy the cheapest policy you can find so that you have coverage but don’t spend too much money. In reality, life insurance can be extremely affordable, and it can fit into any sized budget. As with anything else, you should be careful when trimming the dollars from your life policy so that you don’t reduce the quality or amount of coverage your family receives. Here are some ways to make life insurance fit into your budget.

Determine what you need

Go through your finances and make a note of your assets, savings, debts, mortgages, and monthly expenditures. It may also be worth noting down any financial goals that you and your spouse/children have talked about. This way, you get a better picture of what expenses and goals you need to cover.

Buy term

Term life insurance covers you for a certain amount of time, such as 5, 10, 30 years. Whole life insurance is another form of life insurance which protects you for your entire life. If you’re looking for affordability, a term policy will generally be a fraction of the cost of a whole life policy.

Shop around for quotes

You don’t have to buy from the first place that you talk to that quotes you a price. Get a feel for a couple of different agencies and ask for a general quote. Remember to consider the value of coverage and not just the bottom line dollar amount.

Improve your health

Most policies require you to take a physical examination before they give you an exact quote. The better the results of your physical, the cheaper life insurance premium you get. This is yet another reason to get your weight and personal health under control.
