Children Love Life Insurance

When we think of things children want, it's usually a toy or some other "fun" item. And kids will get that item, play with it for a while and soon it becomes part of a pile of toys that sits in the corner, only to be played with occasionally. 

One thing that a child does love is stability. Not having to worry about bills and other "grown up" issues are what makes being a kid joyful. And when tragedy strikes life insurance offers that stability. Being able to stay in the same home, having the same routine and doing all the fun things that go with "growing up" like hanging out with the same friends and summer camp help a child tremendously.

And children know when there is stress, financial and otherwise, in the household. That stress can result in poor school performance, low self-esteem and other issues. Life insurance can alleviate much of that stress and lead to a much happier and adjusted child.

Kids don't love life insurance because of the paperwork and riders. They love it because of the promises kept. And that promise is that their home and future is non-negotiable. Make that promise to your kids with a life insurance policy.

Which Problem Do You Think Needs To Be Solved?

Let's assume for a moment that you had "purchase life insurance" on your list of "things to do in 2025" but you put it off and forgot about doing it. Now it's 2026 and, unfortunately, you are dead. There's no life insurance to pay out and your family (or business) is in financial trouble. Monthly bills need to be paid. Since you were either the main breadwinner, that lack of income is becoming consequential. 

Of course, there are other problems as well. There's the issue of your funeral cost and perhaps even medical bills that came with your demise. Assuming you went quickly, your family may be facing a hospital bill for the ER, but on the other hand, you could have been sick for months, racking up expenses until you meet your medical insurance "out-of-pocket" limits. 

Finally, if you are leaving behind children, their education costs could be at risk. Not to mention any other future "milestones" you may have planned, like paying for a daughter's wedding or helping your spouse start their "dream business".
