Common Questions About Life Insurance

  • Do I need life insurance if I’m young and healthy?

    Yes — getting life insurance early helps you lock in lower premiums while you're healthy. It’s the most cost-effective time to buy.

    That depends on your income, debts, number of dependents, and future goals. We help calculate the right coverage — whether that’s $100,000 or $1 million+.

    Yes. We work with multiple insurers, including those that offer flexible underwriting for various health histories.
