Let Us Look At The Young Married CoupleYou have met the partner of your dreams and have decided to get married. You have no children yet even though you plan to. You both work. You save every dollar you can save for the baby you plan on having. You should not buy term life insurance because you are positive you wont die before you see your dreams fulfilled. Don't buy term life insurance. Why on earth should you anyway.
You are planning to buy a house so that the family can enjoy it. The children, which you plan to have, will be able to run around their own house. You will be able to toss a baseball at your son's glove in your own backyard. You have all the money to buy this house...so you will need no mortgage. So you have no need to buy any term life insurance.
You are in good health now and you know that 20 years from now you will be there to pay those college expenses. You are going to be there to see your daughter walk up on that podium. May be she will be valedictorian. So don't buy that extra $150,000 of life insurance that will help pay for her college costs. Don't buy term life insurance.
Possibly you will have no children. As a couple you enjoy a truly loving and happy relationship. You know you won't develop a life threatening illness that may put you six feet under within the next year...so you shouldn't buy any life insurance at all. Make certain you don't buy term life insurance.
