God Bless the Child
Life insurance is a crucial financial tool, but many people misunderstand its purpose and use. It is my intent to help bring the truth to light when you examine your policies or consider purchasing a life policy.
If you purchased a life insurance policy for yourself or for others you were probably motivated to do so for one of the following reasons.
-income replacement
-debt coverage
-estate planning
-legacy gifting
Now there are some of you that have never purchased a life policy but have life insurance coverage as a benefit from your employer or union. If so, did you know that in most instances you are not able to keep that life insurance coverage if you should leave your job or union?
If the only life insurance coverage that you have is from your job/union, you may want to consider the following:
-How many years of lost income does it provide for my family?
-What happens if my employer goes out of business?
-Am I covered if I become disabled or retire?
-What happens if I change employers?
Billie Holliday once sang, “God bless the child that’s got their own.” This is great advice, remember it is always better to have insurance and not need it, than need it and not have it, which is too often the case.
