Recommended Life Insurance Coverage

Financial advisors recommend an individual should get around ten times their yearly income.

So, for example, if you make $150,000 per year from your job and get another $50,000 yearly in passive income from investments, you should be getting around $2,000,000 in life insurance coverage.

I Have Some Medical Issues, Will I Pay More?

Most likely you will, and depending on the medical issue, you may even be denied coverage.

Think about it, there's no insurance company that will issue you a policy if you have a form of cancer that has low survivability rate.

Also, if you are obese and have diabetes, you chances of getting coverage are lower. Even if you get a policy, the costs may be prohibitive.
