What type of insurance should you purchase? The answer depends a
great deal on where you’re at in life.
That’s why it’s important to look for more than just “an insurance
policy.” Instead, you need Co first identify your financial needs and objec-
tives - and then find the appropriate insurance products.
Here’s a general timetable of what your needs and goals may be at
various life stages, and what types of insurance you may need during
these periods.
Age 21-35: Career beginnings - When you’re single and just staring
out in your career, you may only need enough life insurance to cover any
debts you have accumulated, such as student loans. And your employer
may even offer a group term insurance plan that is sufficient for this
need.
Once you start a family, you’ll have to focus on how much money one
spouse would need to raise the children and pay off the house, should the
other spouse die prematurely.- To meet these needs, you may want to
consider either an individual term policy or some type of permanent insur-
ance.
Ages 36-65: Prime earning years - At this long stage of life, you’ll
likely have established your career and watched your children grow up.
You will need to review your insurance coverage to make sure it meets
your changing needs: a second home, children approaching college, etc.
You’ll also want to see how insurance can help you fund your retire-
ment plans. This is especially important if you are already “maxing out"
on contributions to your qualified retirement plan, such as a 401(k), or if
your income is so high that you run into IRA contribution limits.
To meet any of these goals, you may want to consider a permanent
insurance plan, such as whole life, universal life or variable universal.
These policies allow tax-deferred growth of earnings, which means your
money will grow much faster than it would in an account on which you
paid taxes every year. An investment representative help you choose the
life insurance plan that's most appropriate for you needs.
Ages 66-85: Retirement and wealth transfer - At this state in life,
your need for insurance generally diminishes. Yet. you can still find valid
uses for insurance, such as the transfer or wealth to your heirs. If you’ve
set the policy up properly, your beneficiaries won’t have to pay income or
estate taxes on the proceeds. Furthermore, the money won’t have to go
through the time-consuming and expensive legal process of probate.
Life insurance can also be useful in an estate-planning context. For
example, if you plan on leaving significant assets to a charity, but you
don’t want to deprive your heirs of these resources, you may want to
establish an irrevocable life insurance trust. Under this arrangement, the
trust purchases eifotighlife insurance to replSCeihe faD values of the
asset you leave to a charity. At the same time, the trust names your heirs
as beneficiaries of the policy.
As you can see, insurance is a multifaceted, flexible tool that can help
you in many stages of your life. But remember, fit the policy to your
needs - not the other way around.
