Frequently Asked Questions
I'm in my 20s and single. Do I really need life insurance?
If anyone depends on you financially (parents, siblings, future spouse), yes. Plus, rates are cheapest when you're young and healthy. Locking in coverage now saves money for decades.
Can't I just invest the money instead?
Investments grow over time. Life insurance provides immediate protection. If you die tomorrow, your $30/month investment won't help anyone. A $500,000 policy pays out day one.
How much coverage should I get in my 20s?
Start with 10x your income. If you make $50,000, get $500,000. Rates are so low when you're young that you can afford solid coverage. You can add more later as your income grows.
What if I want both the Rolex AND life insurance?
Great! Get the insurance first, then save for the watch. Don't go into debt for a status symbol while leaving your future family unprotected. Priorities matter.
Real Status = Real Responsibility
