Frequently Asked Questions

How much life insurance do I need?

10-12x annual income is the standard benchmark. The precise version: 70% of income × years to cover, plus debts and final expenses, minus what you already have.

Term or whole life?

Term insurance is cheap and covers the gap when kids are dependent — the right choice for 90% of families. Whole life costs 10x more and mostly benefits the agent.
