With high school graduations just around the corner, parents are preparing to send their children to college. This is the perfect time to introduce an important but often overlooked topic: life insurance for your college-aged kid(s).
The Benefits of Early Life Insurance For Your College Student
Lock in Lower Rates
Getting life insurance at a young age means more affordable premiums and securing coverage before any potential health issues arise.
Ensure Future Insurability
Life changes quickly. Buying insurance now provides security regardless of your child’s career path or hobbies they adopt, some of which may be considered high-risk.
Start Financial Conversations Early
College is a launching pad for adult responsibilities. Discussing life insurance can be part of broader financial education, teaching them about planning and protecting their future.
Why Life Insurance For College is Crucial Now
Health and Lifestyle Changes
As young adults grow, their health can change, impacting their insurability and the cost of insurance.
Career Choices
Some careers have higher risks, which can affect insurance rates.
Risky Hobbies
Activities like rock climbing or skydiving are fun but can make getting life insurance complicated later on.
