Having a new baby is a joyous event for the new
parents and loved ones around them. The new parents get busy with
taking care of the baby's needs and hardly have time for themselves or anything
else. Getting life insurance might be the furthest thing on their minds.
It is understandable because they need to juggle work, family, and the newborn
and try to balance them. Still, paying for life insurance is important
and shouldn't be forgotten. As new parents, the insurance benefits can
help secure your children's future if you are not there to care for them.
Full-time parents need life insurance so that they won't overburden the
surviving parent with financial debts.
Meaning of Life Insurance
Life insurance is described as a vital financial sanctuary. It generates an income for your inheritors upon your demise. This earning is tax-free and the sum given to your beneficiaries depends on the amount you bought. You choose the insurance package that suits you, make the equivalent payment and put down the name of your appointed successors. Beneficiaries are those you choose who receive your money or benefits and use it as stipulated or as they deem fit. They can use it for their medical expenses, mortgage bills, school fees or any other living expenses.
Randon Morris, a business consultant who is known for his business acumen said, "When acquiring a life insurance scheme, go to a reputable insurance firm and consult with them before deciding on what to get. You will receive guidance and get to understand what you are acquiring, the terms and conditions. This will save you from buying complex insurance that will give your beneficiaries problems when they need the benefits."
Life Insurance Acquisition Tips
1. Select the right package:
Randon Morris also stated that there are two categories of
life insurance, namely period (term) insurance and continual (permanent) life
insurance. Term insurance is an insurance package whose coverage is set over
some time (like 5, 10 or 20 years. This means that the benefits or money will
not be given to the beneficiaries after the set period has expired. The
advantage is that it is affordable, especially for parents with children.
Permanent life insurance offers lifelong coverage. "Purchasing a permanent
life insurance policy is probably the best choice for any parents" RandonMorris admonished. After purchasing the package, you can add term insurance
as an added benefit for your beneficiaries.
2. Think far ahead:
It might be too soon to think about your new
baby's future educational needs but it is better to be safe than sorry. School
fees today we're not the same as the fees paid two years ago. Things change
every day, prices fluctuate and you cannot predict the future. As new parents,
you want your baby to have the best care, education, a good job, healthy and
happy life and so on. Yet, the cost of getting these things is not cheap. Put
the cost of your baby's education into consideration when you purchase a
policy. It will prevent you or your baby from being neck-deep with student
loans.
