    Why Millennials Should Buy Life Insurance Now

    May 10, 2024 4 min read

    The Age Advantage

    Life insurance premiums are primarily based on age and health. A healthy 25-year-old can lock in a $500,000 20-year term policy for as little as $15 to $20 per month. Wait until 35 and that same policy costs $25 to $35. Wait until 45 and it jumps to $50 to $80.

    Buying young means locking in your health classification. Even if you develop health issues later, your premiums stay the same for the duration of your term.

    Do You Really Need It?

    If anyone depends on you financially — a spouse, children, aging parents, or a co-signer on debt — you need life insurance. Even if you're single, a small policy can cover funeral costs and any debts so they don't burden your family.

    If you have student loans with a co-signer, life insurance ensures that debt doesn't fall on your parents or co-signer if something happens to you.
