Life Insurance Question?

Hi Mommies,

Our friend and financial advisor came over last night to go over life insurance. Boy is it expensive. He recommends we get at least $500,000 with $400,000 Term Life and $100,000 Universal. So we can convert the term down the line..

It will cost us $1,200 a year... Not so bad..

Just wondering what everyone else has, sorry if I am asking TMI.

Thanks,
Denise

We haven't gotten any additional insurance other than what my DH has through work. Since we're expecting in August, we need to get more insurance and a will together. From what you said...it does sound kinda expensive...especially with new baby and daycare costs. Thanks for posting the info...

We just got ours in December - it is expensive! My husband is covered for $2 million and me for $1 million and it costs us $1076 per year. I think it's just basic life insurance though - it's worth nothing unless one of us dies. I think the term life is more expensive. Ours is through Northwestern Mutual Life....

Actually Term Life is the least expensive.. My DH is getting $400,000 for $300 a year. It is the $100,000 of Universal that is costing us almost $900 a year. That is why you were able to get millions of dollars of coverage for less than I am paying..

We got $1 million Universal on DH a few months back. I forget how much it is, and he's on a business trip. I'll FM you once I find out. We got it through this company Manulife, which has since merged with John Hancock. HTH!
