Life Insurance: When to Buy

Originally published on our previous website in 2016. Some details, such as companies, coverage options and state requirements, may have changed since then. Call or text 765-474-2300 for current information.

Everyone always asks when is the best time to buy life insurance. There are many life events that trigger a life insurance purchase. Getting married, purchasing a home, having a baby and changing jobs are all great times in one’s life to help protect your loved ones. The other question we often get asked is, can I afford life insurance, or how much is it? Life insurance can be very affordable; we have written policies for less than $20 per month. If you are interested in obtaining more information, please contact us.

Update (October 2026): Our advice has not changed: the best time is usually sooner rather than later. See our life insurance page or call or text 765-474-2300.
