A few years ago, a client came to me after leaving a senior corporate role. High salary, great perks, full benefits package.
When we looked at his familyโs financial picture, he felt totally confident about life insurance. "My employer has me covered for 2x my salary," he said.
Then came the realization that caught him off guard:
The moment he signed his exit paperwork, ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ถ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐ณ๐ฒ๐๐ ๐ป๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ถ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ป๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐.
Worse, because he had developed a minor health condition during his late 40s, securing a new individual policy cost significantly more than if heโd set it up years earlier.
Itโs one of the most common oversights I see: ๐๐ค๐ฃ๐๐ช๐จ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ ๐ฌ๐ค๐ง๐ ๐ฅ๐ก๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ฃ๐๐๐๐ฉ ๐ฌ๐๐ฉ๐ ๐ฉ๐ง๐ช๐ ๐ฅ๐๐ง๐จ๐ค๐ฃ๐๐ก ๐ฅ๐ง๐ค๐ฉ๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ฃ.
Here is why relying solely on corporate term insurance is a gamble:
๐๐ ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐น๐ผ๐ป๐ด๐ ๐๐ผ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฝ๐น๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ, ๐ป๐ผ๐ ๐๐ผ๐: Personal term stays with you through every career shift, layoff, or retirement. Group coverage ends the day you hand in your laptop.
๐ฅ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐ ๐ถ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐ฎ๐ด๐ฒ: Personal policies lock in your low premium based on your age and health today for 10, 20, or 30 years. Corporate group rates step up as you enter new age brackets.

Group life insurance is a fantastic bonus. But it shouldn't be the foundation holding up your family's future.
