Dipping your toes in Term Life Insurance

As the name suggests, it’s a life insurance policy for a duration of a term and not your entire lifetime. Term insurance lets you buy the policy for a few years and pay a certain sum of money every year till the term ends. If anything unfortunate happens to you during the term, your family will receive the death payout.

Buying a new house is a stressful, overwhelming experience. Particularly, as a first time home buyer, making a significant investment with a mortgage can be a daunting experience. For most, it’s the largest debt to take on. A scary thought to leave your family vulnerable when something unexpected happens – I mean death. Around a third of Amercians would end up in such a situation if they lost the primary earner of the household.

A life insurance policy can cushion the blow related to some of the worry associated with buying a house. It grants your family a sense of security and a peace of mind by paying off debts, providing for your kids future – like college tuition, and supplementing your retirement, among other things. Home expenses typically run in the thousands per month – mortgage, insurance, tax, utilities, etc. Term life policies can cost as little as 1-2% of home expenses for millennials. A small additional cost for peace of mind – that’s priceless!
