September is Life Insurance Awareness Month, making it the perfect opportunity to take a fresh look at one of the most important financial decisions you’ll ever make. Life changes—and your life insurance should change with it.
Think about where you were just a few years ago. Have you gotten married, welcomed a child, purchased a home, changed jobs, or started planning for retirement? If so, when was the last time you reviewed your life insurance coverage to make sure it still meets your family’s needs?
Life insurance is about much more than replacing income. It can help your loved ones pay off a mortgage, cover funeral expenses, protect a family business, fund a child’s education, or leave a meaningful legacy for the next generation. Having the right coverage provides financial security and peace of mind during life’s most difficult moments.
A common question I hear is, “Should I choose term or permanent life insurance?” The answer depends on your goals. Term life insurance provides affordable coverage for a specific period, making it a great option for protecting your family during your working years or while paying off major debts. Permanent life insurance offers lifelong protection and can build cash value over time, making it a valuable part of a long-term financial strategy.
Another important consideration is employer-provided life insurance. While it’s a great employee benefit, many people don’t realize that workplace coverage is often limited and may not follow you if you change jobs or retire. Owning an individual life insurance policy ensures that your protection stays with you, regardless of where your career takes you.
This September, I encourage you to ask yourself one simple question: If something happened to me today, would my family be financially prepared? If you’re not sure of the answer, now is the perfect time for a conversation.
