Why So Many Families Wait Too Long to Get Life Insurance — And How to Avoid It

If you’ve ever said, “I’ll get life insurance later,” you’re not alone. Many families delay getting coverage because they think it’s expensive, complicated, or unnecessary while they’re young.

But here’s the truth — life insurance is cheaper and easier to qualify for the younger and healthier you are.

I’ve met countless clients who wished they had started earlier. One client in her 40s had just recovered from a surgery that made it impossible to qualify for preferred rates. If she’d applied just two years earlier, her premiums would have been half the cost.

That’s why I tell people:

“You don’t buy life insurance because you’re going to die soon. You buy it because you love someone who will live on.”

Whether it’s to replace income, pay off debt, or ensure your children can stay in the same home, having coverage gives peace of mind that money can’t replace.

Quick Tip: Even if you already have coverage through work, it’s usually not enough and doesn’t follow you if you leave your job. Having your own policy ensures you’re always protected.
