February is celebrated as the month of love. Heart-shaped boxes of candy fill store shelves and bouquets of bright red roses are plentiful. People purchase these gifts to show their loved ones how much they care. There is one important gift that is often overlooked and will last long after the candy is eaten and flowers have wilted-that gift is life insurance!
Many people do not like to discuss their own mortality or how their families will carry on without them. Not only are loved ones affected emotionally, but also financially. This is why life insurance is one of the most important gifts you can give. While life insurance cannot ease the sorrow felt by those left behind, it can provide the means to reduce anxiety caused by financial uncertainty. Financial obligations will continue after your passing, and your loved ones will be responsible for them. Providing them with financial security using life insurance proceeds gives them time to make informed, thoughtful decisions regarding their future.
Consider the following scenarios your loved ones may face with and without adequate life insurance:
