How To Get Life Insurance
How do I get life insurance?
The typical way to buy life insurance is through an agent. You meet with an agent and you decide on what you're trying to accomplish with that life insurance. You talk about what kinds of debts you have in you life. For example, you have a mortgage of $400,000, and you have kids that are planning to go to college - that's another couple of hundred thousand - and you have a spouse who might not be working. You want to cover that spouse to provide income for his or her life. You add these number up together and come up with a ball park number. You could never be 100 percent sure on how much life insurance you should have, but typically insurance companies issue anywhere from ten to twenty times your annual income. If a person is making $100,000, they could usually qualify for a $2,000,000 life insurance policy.
