I’ve heard most people need to purchase more life insurance in addition to whatever their employer includes in the standard benefits package. How have others handled deciding whether to do this, and how much extra life insurance to get?

But it doesn’t hurt your bottom line to know that if you donate money or property to a “qualified organization,” your donation can be deducted by filing Form 1040 and itemizing the deduction on Schedule A.

The older you are when you buy life insurance, the more expensive it will be. So, if you can, buy life insurance as soon as the need exists – as soon as you have dependents, for example – so that your premiums will be lower. Many term policies give you the option to renew your coverage at the end of the term without undergoing another medical exa…[Read more]
