More importantly, unexpected health changes can make coverage expensive or impossible to get. Protecting your family starts with a decision made today.
Rates increase with age
Life insurance premiums go up every year you wait. A 35-year-old pays far less than a 45-year-old for the same coverage. Lock in your rate today.
Health can change without warning

Life insurance FAQ
How much life insurance do I actually need?
A common guideline is 10 to 12 times your annual income, plus any debts you want covered (mortgage, student loans, credit cards). If you are a stay-at-home parent, consider the cost to replace childcare, housekeeping, transportation, and other services you provide, which can exceed $50,000 per year.
Do I need a medical exam to get covered?
Not always. Many term life and final expense policies offer no-medical-exam options. You may pay slightly higher premiums, but approval can happen within 24 to 48 hours instead of weeks.
What is the difference between term and whole life insurance?
Term life covers you for a specific period (10, 20, or 30 years) and is the most affordable option. Whole life covers you for life and builds cash value over time, but costs more. Most families with young children start with a term policy and add permanent coverage later.
Can a stay-at-home mom get life insurance?
Absolutely. Many people underestimate the financial value a stay-at-home parent provides. Childcare, cooking, cleaning, school runs, and household management can cost $50,000 or more per year to replace. Life insurance ensures your family can cover these costs if you pass away.
How long does it take to get covered?
With simplified issue policies (no medical exam), you can be approved and covered in as little as 24 to 48 hours. Traditional policies that require a medical exam typically take 4 to 6 weeks.
What happens if I stop paying premiums?
For term life insurance, your coverage will lapse if you miss payments. Most insurers offer a grace period of 30 to 31 days. Whole life policies may use accumulated cash value to cover missed premiums. Your agent will explain your options before you enroll.
