We all know the importance and necessity of having life insurance. And the question of should you have life insurance? How much? What kind? The answers can be complicated. If your family depends on your income, then life insurance is imperative. Life insurance proceeds can be used for any expense. Funeral and burial, estate taxes, higher education for your children, mortgage expense. Or those proceeds can be used to fund your spouse’s future for retirement.

All of these issues should be carefully considered and discussed.
