'I've got savings — I don't need life insurance.' 🤔
I hear this from West Michigan professionals, business owners, and farm families. And it makes sense on the surface. But here's where it gets complicated.
Savings protects against expected financial events. Life insurance protects against unexpected ones. They're not doing the same job.
Even significant savings can be wiped out quickly when funeral costs, estate taxes, debt payoff, and the loss of your ongoing income all hit at the same time.
Farm families in Newaygo, Oceana, and Muskegon counties especially: your farm's operating obligations don't pause. Savings earmarked for one purpose gets redirected — and the whole plan unravels.
