Life insurance as a gift?
The initial reaction for many people when you mention life insurance as a gift is a quick step back
and a questioning stare. How morbid, they may think quietly or aloud. While it may seem that way
when you first mention it, life insurance is a really thoughtful gift that can be a financial life
preserver in tough times.
The problem with life insurance is the general perception. Many think of life insurance only in cases
where someone dies. Life insurance should, in fact, be thought of as a precautionary protective
measure for a family unit. The purchase of this product can mean saving your home, sending your
children to college, and preserving your spouse’s quality of life in the event of your death.
One of the times you may want to purchase life insurance for someone is when a family has a new
baby. It’s a great, low-cost way to set money aside for the future (i.e. college tuition, housing,
business start-up, etc.). Of greater importance, it ensures these children will have insurance as adults,
in case an illness later in life makes him or her uninsurable.
Newlyweds are also ideal recipients for life insurance. As they join their lives and financial
responsibilities, young couples need to make sure that their early investments are fully protected. If
something were to happen to one of them, the other may be faced with serious financial hardship. A
life insurance policy is an ideal way to ensure their future and protect their assets.
As nontraditional as it may be, life insurance is a wise and caring gift to purchase for many people.
