End-of-Year Life Checkup: Is Your Coverage Still Right?
Kim Mariscotti
As the year winds down and the holiday season warms our hearts, it's a natural time for self-reflection. With the open enrollment period upon us, it's also the perfect opportunity to reconsider your life insurance needs. Life has its way of surprising us with changes—both planned and unplanned—that can render old policies insufficient. Maybe you've changed, and so have your priorities and responsibilities.
The importance of revisiting your life insurance annually cannot be overstated. Here’s why:
- Have you started a new job, received a promotion, or retired? Your financial landscape might need a fresh perspective.
- Whether you're newly married or have recently gone through a divorce, life events like these can impact your financial plans.
- Welcoming a child or a grandchild adds joy, but also necessitates financial adjustments to ensure their security.
- Buying a home or taking on new financial commitments? Make sure your insurance matches your liabilities.
- Your health, income, or long-term financial goals may have shifted, requiring updates to your insurance strategy.
- It's crucial to review beneficiary designations and estate plans to ensure they align with your current wishes.
Understanding and adapting your coverage brings peace of mind. Taking a proactive step now ensures that your life insurance still aligns with your present situation. Why not schedule a quick coverage review? It's a simple, supportive process that offers reassurance as the year comes to an end.
