Myth #1 It’s expensive.
The biggest misconception about life insurance is its cost: 80% of those surveyed overestimated the price for a given policy, according to the study. That is particularly the case for millennials, who overestimated the cost by 213%, and Gen Xers, overestimated by 119%. When asked the annual price for a 20-year, $250,000 term life insurance policy for a healthy 30-year-old, respondents estimated $400. Millennials guessed $600. The actual price is about $160 annually
Myth #2 If you are young and healthy, you don’t need it.
Individual life insurance needs depend upon many factors, but if possible, it’s better to buy a policy when you’re young and healthy. For example, a policy that costs $12 a month at age 30 will cost about $32 a month at age 50. Health problems can develop as you age, therefore the price goes up.
Protect your insurability by purchasing life insurance as early as possible. I recently spoke with a customer who had a heart attack in his 30’s and has had difficulty finding insurance to fit his budget.
Myth #3 Life insurance through your employer is sufficient.
Group life insurance is a great employer benefit, however it may not be enough to provide for your family. What if you lose or leave your job? A workplace policy doesn’t travel with you, so a personal policy is the safest way to ensure your family is taken care of.
The recent downturn in our economy left many of us without jobs and life insurance.
