If the past 6 months has taught is anything, it’s that you can never be too prepared for the unexpected.

We think that plan should include some form of individually owned life insurance.
Thinking about buying life insurance can be overwhelming – especially when it’s your first time. There are a lot of choices out there and many factors to consider. Our goal is to make your insurance shopping experienc
e as painless as possible. To help ensure that you navigate your journey successfully, we are going to share a simple tip every Tuesday during September to get you started.

The logic being that your coverage is most affordable the younger and healthier you are. This is key reason that children’s life insurance is so popular.
