Why Would Anyone Buy Term Life Insurance? 
Term life insurance is needed when you have a temporary debt that you do n't want others to be burdened with such as a home mortgage , car loans , credit card debts , college tuition , etc. . Coverage for items such as income replacement and leaving a legacy to your family should ideally be covered by a permanent life insurance policy . I would recommend consulting with an experienced independent life insurance broker who can work with you on a personal level to help you determine how much coverage you should have in place and how long you should have it for . Since budget is an obvious concern for most , many people will create a coverage structure that will best serve their needs even if it can not cover everything . I hope the information is helpful - please feel free to contact me for assistance with your coverage and if you have any other questions . Thanks very much .
