Do I Need Life Insurance?
If you're a parent, a spouse, or a homeowner, you probably should have life insurance.
Whether you are contributing household income or providing household services, such as child care, cooking, or shuttling kids to and from school, life insurance is an important consideration. If loved ones count on you for financial or lifestyle support, the answer is yes—you need life insurance.
A life insurance policy is also a smart idea if you own a home or a business so the people you support today will have enough money to pay the bills if something should happen to you.
