Here’s Why It Matters

September is Life Insurance Awareness Month — a perfect time to ask yourself a simple yet powerful question: If something happened to me, would my loved ones be okay financially?


It’s not a pleasant topic, but it’s an important one. According to recent studies, over 102 million Americans are either uninsured or underinsured when it comes to life insurance. That’s a staggering number — and a clear reminder that many families could be financially vulnerable if the unexpected happens.


One common reason people put off buying life insurance? They assume it’s expensive. But that’s often far from the truth. In fact, many young adults — especially those in Gen Z — overestimate the cost by as much as ten times! The reality is, life insurance can be surprisingly affordable when you start early.


Life insurance isn’t just about replacing income or covering final expenses; it’s about providing peace of mind. It’s about making sure your children have the financial support to continue their education. It’s about ensuring your partner can stay in the home you built together. It’s about securing your family’s future — no matter what life brings.


From juvenile policies that grow with your kids to affordable term life options for young adults, there are flexible solutions to meet your needs at every stage of life. Whether you're just starting a family, buying a home, or nearing retirement, there’s a policy that fits your goals and budget.


This September, take a moment to protect the people you love most. Life moves quickly — and the best time to secure coverage is before you think you need it.
