Tips for Saving Money on Life Insurance

May 9, 2012 by Scott Moize Jr.

Family at BeachIf you were to die tomorrow, would your spouse and your children have enough money to take care of themselves?

Life insurance is designed to help provide financial security to your loved ones after you pass away. The policy will cover your funeral costs, as well as setting aside money for your family to support them after you are gone.

Life insurance is especially important if you are the main breadwinner for the family.

Take Your Time and Shop Around

Buying life insurance is a big decision that you will commit to for many years, so be sure that you compare many different options before deciding on one.

Go around to several different companies and compare what they have to offer and their prices. You can also use life insurance policy comparison tools on the internet.

Be as Healthy as Possible

Most insurers will require a physical examination, so it is in your best interest to be as healthy as possible to get the lowest life insurance premiums. If you smoke, are overweight, have high blood pressure, or other health problems you will end up paying a much higher rate.

Although you won’t be able to fix all health problems, you can at least change your lifestyle to affect the ones you can control.

Stop smoking, get at least 30 minutes of aerobic exercise per day, reduce your stress levels, eat more fruits and vegetables and get lots of sleep.

Not only will it make you feel better and life longer, you will save money too!

Look at the Different Payment Terms

Many life insurance policies will allow you to save money if you pay your entire year’s premiums in advance.

Although this might be harder to budget than monthly payments, if you can manage it you can save yourself a nice chunk of cash and still receive the same policy.

These are just a few ways that you can save money on your life insurance and protect your spouse and family for less.
