Reader’s Question:
We are only a middle-class, suburban family living here in New Jersey (far from the rich WASPy types) do you think we still need to get life insurance coverage?

The good news is that you don’t have to be super-rich in order to justify buying a life insurance plan. In fact, anyone who takes care of someone else or provides support financially should seriously consider getting an adequate, yet affordable life insurance policy that best reflects their financial goals, needs and responsibilities. Can you imagine what will happen to your family there in New Jersey in case you (or whoever the bread-winner is) suddenly pass away? How would they manage their day to day needs? Who would continue to pay the bills & mortgage? Can your wife put the kids through college all on her own? These are just a few of the things you will have to consider, knowing that you can get peace of mind as well as provide your family a financial safety net through a life insurance coverage.
Once you do decide to get life insurance, the next thing you would have to do is to make an assessment of your family’s immediate and long-term expenses. This would include your total long-term debts, loans, and payments, School expenses, or anything that you see your family spending for in the future. This will give you a good idea of how much coverage or ‘face-value’ you would need to look for in a life insurance plan. You may choose to get term life which covers you for a specific period of time only (until the kids are old enough to work, for example) or decide on a permanent life insurance plan that covers you as long as you are alive.
