Myth #1: Life insurance is too expensive. Many people assume that life insurance is unaffordable, but the truth is, there are policies available for almost any budget. Term life insurance, in particular, is often surprisingly affordable, especially for young and healthy individuals. The cost of life insurance is often less than what you’d pay for your daily coffee, yet it provides immense value for your family’s future.
Myth #2: Only breadwinners need life insurance. While it's true that life insurance is critical for income earners, non-working spouses and stay-at-home parents also provide invaluable support to their families. Life insurance can help cover the costs of childcare, household duties, or other services that would be difficult to afford if a stay-at-home spouse were no longer there.
Myth #3: My employer-provided life insurance is enough. While having life insurance through work is a great benefit, it often falls short of covering your actual needs. Employer-provided policies typically offer coverage that amounts to one or two years' worth of salary, which is not enough for most families. Additionally, if you leave your job, your coverage may end.
Myth #4: I don’t need life insurance if I’m young and healthy. The best time to purchase life insurance is when you are young and healthy. Premiums are much lower at this stage of life, making it an ideal time to secure coverage. Waiting until you are older or have health issues will make life insurance more expensive and harder to qualify for.
Myth #5: It’s complicated to get life insurance. The process of getting life insurance has become more streamlined than ever. With The P.F.B.G.
