How Does Life Insurance Help?

  • Life insurance can provide a lump sum of money to replace the income lost when a wage-earner dies
  • In order to meet financial obligation, dual income families usually rely on both incomes.
  • Single wage-earners provide the family’s only source of income to meet family needs. The stay at home spouse may not be able to match that income if the wage-earner dies forcing a dramatic change in lifestyle.
  • Single parents usually do it all: support the family, run the car pool, prepare the meals and tuck the kids in at night. The death of a single parent moves this responsibility to someone else, perhaps a relative. Life insurance in the hands of the parents or guardian can help ensure that the childrens’ needs continue to be met.
  • Replacing the value of the “stay at home” parent isn’t easy, or inexpensive – the cost to hire someone to take on the child care and housekeeping can add up. Life insurance can provide funds to help.
