Who needs life insurance?
Short answer: you. Long answer, anyone who has people in the world they care about, especially if those people depend on them. Parents, people with outstanding debts, and those who make significantly more than their partner might find it especially helpful. More.

How big of an insurance policy do I need?
Any number is better than nothing, but financial experts usually recommend a policy that can pay out 5x your annual salary. Your unique lifestyle can push this number higher or lower. Whatever your needs are, though, we probably have a policy that can fit them. More.

How to get life insurance
Start by doing your research
Think about how much coverage you need, based on how much it’ll take to protect your family. You might also total up costs like final expenses, debt repayment, mortgages, college costs for your kids, day-to-day living expenses for your family and more.
Then you’ll want to decide what term length is right for you. How long do you want this coverage to last?
For example, if you have a 5-year-old and choose a policy with a 20-year term, then your family would be covered until your child is 25 years old.
Then make it happen
For a sense of how much insurance might cost you, get a free quote. It takes a minute and can set your expectations. Of course, that’s only an estimate because your real price will depend on a more thorough look at your personal situation.
From there, fill out a life insurance application. This generally takes about ten minutes and will ask you questions about your health and medical history, employment, hobbies and other factors. If you’re approved on the spot, you’ll have an opportunity to purchase your policy then and there. If the underwriters have questions about your application, they’ll reach out.
