Rant incoming…
Life insurance is one of the few things we buy hoping our family never has to use it.
But becoming a husband and a dad and especially welcoming another little girl into our family, has made me think about it even more.
If something happened to me tomorrow, my family would already be dealing with the hardest thing imaginable.
The last thing I would ever want is for that grief to also come with questions like…
Can we afford to stay in our home?
How are we going to replace his income?
Can I afford childcare while continuing to work?
What happens to the plans we had for our kids?
How do I pay the bills next month?
Life insurance can’t replace a husband, a wife, a mom, or a dad.
But it can replace the paycheck that person would have brought home for the next 10, 20, or 30 years.
It can pay off the mortgage.
It can give a surviving spouse the ability to take time away from work.
It can help make sure your kids still have the opportunities you dreamed about giving them.
And most importantly, it can give your family options instead of financial decisions being forced on them during the worst time of their lives.
That’s why I don’t look at life insurance as a policy.
I look at it as one final promise to your family:
“Even if I’m not here, I’m still going to take care of you.”
If you have a spouse, children, a mortgage, or someone who depends on your income, I’d encourage you to ask yourself one question:
If my paycheck stopped tomorrow, how long would my family’s current life be able to continue?
If you don’t know the answer, let’s figure it out.
And if you already have life insurance, I’ll gladly review that with you too.
