In reply to Aaron. I think you actually reached out to me unless I'm forgetting : )

You didn’t mention that you did reach out to me for a quote, otherwise great editorial.

I think it’s a great idea to have so much in life insurance. My wife and I each have half of what you have in life insurance. I’m wondering if I have enough with two kids under 7, a house, and not wanting my wife to worry about a thing if something ever happens to me. I’m actually healthier now than I was when we bought our policies a few years ago in my late 20’s. I’m going to have to look into our needs and how much more I should buy. Thanks, David!

In reply to Andrew@LivingRichCheaply. I have a small term policy through work, about $50k. It's not even close to what I am comfortable with, though, so that's why I looked into additional plans through PolicyGenius.

In reply to Finance Solver. Yes definitely not needed if you are single and have no one depending on you. But I'm glad it's on your radar for when you get married!

I haven’t looked into life insurance yet because I’m not married. I do know it’s a selfless deed if I have others depending on me and will look and research into this further when I do get married. Thank you for sharing your story!

I remember you mentioning this for awhile. I’ve been mentioning it for awhile as well but haven’t. I do have a decent amount of term life insurance through work so that is why I haven’t prioritized it. Did you have a policy at work? I know that it’s probably better to get an individual policy since there’s a chance you might leave the employer however I work in government and I’m pretty sure I’ll be staying until retirement.
