What you need to know as a retiree shopping for life insurance.
Congratulations! After decades of hard work, you have finally reached the season of life where you get to relax.
Can you, though? If you find yourself getting worried about what will happen to your family after you are gone, a life insurance policy can give you the peace of mind you need to fully enjoy your retirement years. Here are a few things retirees should look for in a life insurance policy to ensure it meets their family’s immediate and long-term needs.
- Income Replacement: Although you’re not earning a paycheck anymore, you probably have some kind of retirement income. Make sure your policy can cover that so your family doesn’t have to go through the difficult adjustment of losing you and losing that income.
- Goal Momentum: Do you have financial goals you hope to achieve during retirement, like paying off your mortgage? Look for a life insurance policy that will help your family complete them.
- Fixed Premiums: As you are likely on a fixed income, it’s in your best interest to choose a policy that has fixed premiums.
