The Price Advantage
Life insurance premiums increase approximately 8-10% for every year you delay purchasing. A $500,000 20-year term policy might cost $18/month at age 25 but $30/month at age 35 and $55/month at age 45.
Over a 20-year term, buying at 25 instead of 35 saves roughly $2,880 in total premiums — and that's assuming your health stays perfect.
Health Changes Are Unpredictable
Even healthy young adults can develop conditions like high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, diabetes, or mental health issues that significantly increase future premiums.
Buying while you're healthy locks in your health rating for the duration of the term, regardless of what health issues develop later.
