September is Life Insurance Awareness Month. When was the last time you purchased, made changes to or otherwise reviewed your life insurance coverage?

“About three years ago, we decided to look at buying some sort of life insurance. But we’ve never made a lot of money, and our kids are grown and don’t expect to get anything when we die. So, instead of buying life insurance, which would have been more expensive, we bought something called funeral insurance. At least the kids won’t have to pay the price of a funeral, which can get pretty pricey.”

“I haven’t thought about life insurance in years. It’s one of those things that, if you have it, you tend not to worry about it ever again. Maybe I should schedule a time to review my policy to make sure I have the coverage I need.”
