Life insurance in your 50's and 60's

 We talked about life insurance still being used in your 50's and 60's on last weeks show. To summarize, were living longer, healthier lives, and many are working longer too. And a survey shows that boomers are supporting adult children and are carrying more debt than ever before. Because of these concerns more boomers are looking at life insurance.

 When choosing coverage, a crucial decision is whether term or permanent life insurance is the best fit for your needs. Term insurance is for when you have a temporary need for coverage of anywhere from five to 30 years. On the other hand, if you have a more permanent goal, e.g. you want to leave something to your heirs when you pass away or want to make sure there is money to take care of a special needs child who will always need care, a permanent insurance policy, like whole life or universal life, could be a better fit.

While a permanent policy may sound great, a term life insurance policy is much cheaper than a whole life policy, even when you’re purchasing it at age 60 or 70, so it’s important to buy only what you need. If you want to learn more call 320-679-5183 or go to yoursafemoneyshow.com.
