The Wonders of Life Insurance |
||
From simple pleasures like enjoying quality time with loved ones to major milestones such as seeing your child graduate or walk down the wedding aisle, these are the moments we cherish most. You work hard to make sure your loved ones have a comfortable life, and hopefully one that includes its fair share of wondrous moments. But if you were suddenly out of the picture, would your loved ones have the same opportunities and quality of life? Life insurance helps ensure that the lifestyle you’ve worked so hard to achieve for your loved ones won’t come to a halt if something were to happen to you. Time to review your life insurance needs September is Life Insurance Awareness Month (LIAM), the perfect time for a life insurance review. LIAM is sponsored by the LIFE Foundation, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to help Americans make smart insurance-buying decisions. First, read about the 7 Wonders of Life Insurance. Then, before you contact someone to discuss your needs, go to our Life Insurance Needs Calculator to get a general sense of how much insurance might be right for you. Once you’ve spent a few minutes on our site, you’ll be in a better position to have an informed conversation with an insurance advisor or your benefits manager at work. Wonders of Life - Flickr Photo Contest  The LIFE Foundation sponsored the Wonders of Life Photo Contest during September to get Americans thinking about life insurance and how it can help preserve life's wondrous moments. Contestants entered by joining the "Wonders of Life" Group on the photo-sharing website Flickr.com where they uploaded a picture that captures a wondrous moment in the life of their family.
