Life insurance isn’t just a smart choice. It’s a crucial step in securing your family’s financial stability and peace of mind. Unfortunately, 52% of Americans avoid life insurance because they think it's too expensive. What’s more, 82% significantly overestimate its cost, often guessing three times higher than the actual figures. Let’s look at the real numbers: As of April 2024, the average cost for a healthy 40-year-old purchasing a 20-year, $500,000 term life insurance policy is about $26 per month ($312 per year). However, a 30-year-old woman might pay approximately $205 per year for the same policy, while a 30-year-old man might pay around $352 per year. Understanding these variations underscores the importance of getting a personalized quote that fits your unique needs and budget. Don’t let myths deter you from this vital protection.
