The world of insurance can be confusing, especially for life insurance, which isn’t always prioritized the same way that auto or home insurance is. For this reason, there are a lot of myths and misconceptions about life insurance that make people less likely to find a policy. Below are three of the most common myths about this type of insurance.
- Life insurance isn’t for young people. Many young adults mistakenly believe that life insurance is something they’ll need once they’re older, not while they’re young. This isn’t the case. Life insurance benefits your loved ones no matter how old you are when you pass. For example, a policy may be able to help your loved ones with funeral costs, which are present no matter what age the deceased is.
- Life insurance is only necessary if you have children. Another common myth about life insurance is the belief that you only need life insurance if you have children or anyone else who depends on your income for their daily living. This simply isn’t true. Life insurance can offer coverage for the loved ones in your life who may not necessarily benefit from your income, such as a co-signer on a loan who will be solely responsible for the loan in the event of your passing.
- Life insurance policies aren’t for people with medical conditions. You are not automatically disqualified from purchasing a life insurance policy just because you have a pre-existing medical condition. Depending on your condition and the state of your health, you may pay a higher price for your policy, but that doesn’t mean you are disqualified from having one.
