Life Insurance for New and Growing Families

Becoming a parent is one of the most common reasons people get life insurance -- protecting income your family depends on, generally at the lowest cost while you're young and healthy.

Is this right for you?

Your options

Term life insurance

Lower cost, matched to years your kids depend on your income -- a common choice for new parents.

Whole life insurance

Permanent coverage that also builds cash value -- higher premium, sometimes paired with a smaller term policy.

Coverage for both parents

Worth considering for a stay-at-home parent too -- replacing that unpaid labor has a real cost.

Common questions

How much life insurance should a new parent get?

A common approach considers years of income replacement plus specific costs like childcare or a mortgage -- an agent can run real numbers for your situation.

Should both parents get life insurance, even a stay-at-home parent?

Often worth considering -- replacing childcare and household labor has a real cost that's easy to overlook.

Is it cheaper to buy life insurance while young?

Generally yes -- premiums are typically lower the younger and healthier you are when you lock in a policy.
