You're Young

Rates are the lowest when you are young and in good health. If you act while you're young and choose the right policy, you can lock in a great rate.

You Have a Family

Most people buy life insurance when they begin their families. If you're the bread winner in the family, your family is probably financially dependent on you. If you should pass on suddenly, they may suffer financial hardships. If you are a homemaker, you still may want to consider getting life insurance. Just because you do not contribute to your family financially does not mean that your family would not survive financial hardships if you should pass on. Childcare, cooking, and cleaning are all expensive services when you have to pay someone else to do them.

You Have an Elderly Parent

Do you have an elderly or ailing parent or relative that depends on you for financial support? You may want to consider getting life insurance. If you pass on before he/she does, they will not suffer financial hardships if you name them as your beneficiary.

You Have a Mortgage

If you own a home and have a mortgage, then you may want to consider getting mortgage protection life insurance. This type of insurance policy is similar to traditional life insurance, except that the benefit goes towards paying off your mortgage rather than to a beneficiary. This policy works well for people who want to make sure that they can leave their home to someone in their family.

You Have Other Important Financial Commitments

Are you sending your child to college? Consider getting a give year term life policy. It may help ensure that your child completes college, regardless of what happens to you.
