Lives change. Growing families
often trade up to a bigger
house. Someone with a pay
raise might think of getting a
better car. But, how many with
changing circumstances think
about the need to trade up to
a better life insurance
policy?Turns out... not
many.That means a more
difficult life for surviving
family members. In fact, the
Insurance Information
Institute says that nearly
half of surviving spouses
would experience a 20 to 40%
decline in their standard of
living if the primary wage
earner in the family died.Life
insurance is like money in the
bank. And, like a retirement
account, the equity can grow.
It can be used for almost
anything - to pay funeral
expenses, debts, and to
maintain a certain standard of
living. September is National
Insurance Month, the time each
year to familiarize yourself
with your policy and check if
you're adequately
covered.----------------------
