A lot of people view insurance as a type of inheritance that they leave to their dear ones. It is important to understand that when a family member dies, there are a lot of expenses that need to be taken care of. Furthermore if the family was depending on the income of the deceased person they will have a hard time maintaining their level of living. An insurance is meant to help the family deal with both the death expenses as well as well being of the family members. From this we can draw the conclusion that an insurance is a safety measure. Therefore does it make any sense to still have one if your children are already adults and your spouse has her own income? The answer is no. Therefore the only time when you need to be covered by insurance is when other people are counting on your income so you only need to purchase <strong>term life insurance</strong> until your children are all grown up.The problem with term insurance is that when it expires without incidents nobody receives any benefits. Some might say that this is a bad deal and that a whole life insurance is a better choice because at one point or another your beneficiaries will receive a considerable amount of money. Well that is quite true. But what if you die in your nineties? By that time your children will be in their sixties having had their own children and grandchildren. By then you will have accumulated a large amount of money in your insurance that will make somebody very happy. But wouldn’t you rather spend that money now with the people who you know and love?
