What You Should Know Before You Go Shopping For Life Insurance

Description

Unfortunately, the novel coronavirus pandemic has gotten more and more Americans thinking about writing wills and getting life insurance. According to Business Insider, if you're in the market for a life insurance policy, there are three things to know before you sign on the dotted line. First, a term life insurance policy is usually the cheapest. And the younger you are when you take it out, the cheaper it usually is. Second, whole life covers you for your entire life--not a fixed term, like term life. Actually an investment vehicle, it's five to nine times more expensive than term. Finally, you'll need to know how much insurance you need. Will it need to cover a mortgage? College funds? Ongoing care for a disabled child or parent? It's a good idea to use an online calculator to help you decide the size of your policy, as it will also take inflation into account, as well as your local cost of living.

Quitting Smoking Won't Just Save You Money On Ciggies--What About Life Insurance?

It's very simple: if you smoke tobacco or cannabis, vape, or chew tobacco, you will pay more for life insurance. The US Surgeon General says 16 million Americans have a smoking-related disease. Smoking-attributable healthcare spending costs over $170 billion per year. According to Business Insider, life insurance premiums are based on your health risk for insurance providers. The effect of nicotine on health is well documented, so smokers are seen as a higher risk for life insurance companies. For example, a twenty-year, $500,000 term policy for a 35-year-old male would cost $27.50 a month if he is a non-smoker, but $102.08 a month if he smokes! If you plan to quit smoking or are in the process of quitting, annual renewable term life insurance is better than a traditional term life insurance policy. Another option for smokers is no medical exam life insurance.
