    As a 39 year old widow who’s 40 year husband just died a month ago. Pleassssse, get the highest amount of life insurance that your job lets you elect. Not just for funeral expenses, but there is so many other things you have to pay for and do when someone passes away. Im so thankful my husband got the highest amount when he selected a policy with his job. I was shocked and so incredibly grateful he chose the 250k policy!!!

    You can thank Art Williams for the Term Insurance you can get today...prior to him, the insurance industry kept a stranglehold on the policy offerings by keeping term out of the equation!
    Hence: Converting Term Insurance to a cash value policy was called conversion...
    Converting a cash value policy to Term was called Twisting!
    They MADE their money by selling you the over priced cash value policies!

    Life insurance coverage is so much more than just paying off debt. He is not considering this. If I am 25 and get a 20 year term and think because I have no debt and a million in the bank I am a fool. You should have terms that covers you until you retire.
    Someone is still dependent on your income and we are talking about a lifetime of giving that is also lost. Wouldn’t you want your wife to let that million sit and grow until she is ready to retire?
    Always go with the 30 year term if you can afford it and consider an additional later to make sure you have coverage until retirement.
