Reader’s Question:

Because of my recent promotion, I am now able to do some things I didn’t have the opportunity to do before like buying our home in Albuquerque New Mexico NM. The house is not cheap but the family just loves it there. This is a bad time for me to buy life insurance especially since I have home insurance anyway, right?

Allow me to be so frank, Gabriela, you couldn’t have been more wrong and in fact, you should be running out on the streets Albuquerque New Mexico NM looking for a life insurance this very moment. I can give you several strong justifications on why you should be doing this in a little while. But first let me tell you that if you’d rather stay in your posh new corner office, you can still be looking for a life insurance policy by going online and looking for free quotes. In fact, you don’t even have to go to another page, just type in your zip code on the blank space at the top of this page. So, on to the reasons why you should be looking around for life insurance now.

The first obvious reason (aside from the fact that you need it) is because you can. With promotions come increased salaries and you have now more spending power. And even before you settle to your new lifestyle, you better carve out that budget for life insurance now. Two or three months later and you wouldn’t feel like you have increased income anymore because surely you will have newer likes which will definitely be more expensive. The second reason is actually a direct question to what you have stated. If you die shortly, will your family be able to keep the house in Albuquerque New Mexico NM? Will they be able to afford the expenses related to running it including bills? Your home insurance covers your property and will pay for the damages that it may suffer, but not for the home loan itself. And it will not even pay for the damages if your family can’t maintain paying the premiums.
