How much life insurance does your family actually need?
The rough rule of thumb is 10 to 15 times your annual income — but a real number depends on your mortgage balance, kids’ future college costs, and what you want your family’s lifestyle to look like if you are gone. We walk through it in 10 minutes on the phone and back-test the number against your real budget so you never buy more (or less) than you need.
Term Life
A fixed monthly premium for a fixed number of years — usually 10, 15, 20, or 30. If you die during the term, your family gets the full death benefit, tax-free. If you outlive it, the policy ends. Cheapest dollar-for-dollar coverage available. Right for almost every working parent.
Whole Life
Permanent coverage that never expires plus a cash-value account that grows tax-deferred and can be borrowed against. More expensive than term but predictable forever. Good fit for estate planning, business buy-sell agreements, and people who want a forced savings vehicle.
Indexed Universal Life (IUL)
A flexible permanent policy where the cash value grows based on a stock index (like the S&P 500) with a floor (often 0%) and a cap. Used for tax-advantaged retirement supplement and high-net-worth planning. Not a fit for everyone — we are honest about that.
Coverage details that matter
Final Expense / Burial
Smaller permanent policies (usually $5K–$50K) for seniors who want to cover funeral costs without putting the burden on their kids. Most are simplified-issue (no exam, just a health questionnaire). Coverage is in place in days.
No-Medical-Exam Term
Up to $1 million of term coverage with no blood draw and no urine sample for many healthy adults under 60. Approval in hours to days instead of weeks. Slightly higher premium than fully underwritten term, but worth it for the speed.
Mortgage Protection
Decreasing or level-term coverage designed to pay off the mortgage if you die during the loan. We usually recommend level term over decreasing term because the premium is nearly identical and the death benefit doesn’t shrink.
Term vs whole life — the honest answer
For 90% of working families with kids and a mortgage, term life is the right answer. It is dirt cheap, easy to understand, and covers the years when your family would be financially devastated without you. Whole life and IUL have legitimate uses — estate planning, lifetime guaranteed coverage, tax-advantaged cash-value accumulation — but a lot of consumers are sold permanent products when term plus a 401(k) would have served them better. We will tell you the honest answer based on your situation.
- Working parents with kids: usually 20-year or 30-year term
- Estate planning at $5M+ net worth: consider whole or universal
- Looking for forced savings? A 401(k) or Roth IRA usually beats whole life
- Already maxed retirement and want extra tax shelter? IUL may make sense
Health conditions and life insurance in Florida
Diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, history of cancer, mental health treatment, DUI history, marijuana use — none of these automatically disqualify you. Different carriers underwrite differently, and one of them is almost always more favorable for any given condition. We pre-qualify before submitting an application so you never get rated up by a carrier that was never the right fit for your situation.
- Type 2 diabetes well-controlled → standard rates available
- History of cancer 5+ years remission → many preferred carriers
- Mental health treatment → most carriers ignore stable conditions
- High BMI → some carriers price BMI very generously
- Marijuana use → at least 4 carriers do not surcharge
Frequently asked questions
How much life insurance do I need?
A common starting point is 10–15 times your annual income, plus mortgage balance, plus future education costs for each child. A 35-year-old earning $100K with a $400K mortgage and two young kids typically lands at $1M–$1.5M of 20-year or 30-year term. We model it in 10 minutes on the phone.
Term or whole life — which is right for me?
For most working families, term is the right answer. It covers the years your family would be financially devastated without you — typically until the kids are grown and the mortgage is paid. Whole life and IUL are tools for estate planning, business succession, and high-net-worth tax strategy. We will tell you honestly which makes sense for your situation.
Can I get life insurance with diabetes or high blood pressure?
Yes. Well-controlled type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol are all insurable at standard or preferred rates with the right carrier. Carriers underwrite these conditions very differently — one might rate you up 50%, another offers preferred. We pre-shop your health profile across multiple carriers before submitting.
Do I need a medical exam?
Not always. Many healthy adults under 60 can get up to $1 million of term coverage with no exam — just a health questionnaire and an electronic check of prescription history and the MIB database. Approval can happen in hours instead of weeks. We start with no-exam options for almost every client because the rates are very close to fully underwritten.
How long does life insurance take to get?
No-exam term: 1–7 days. Fully underwritten term with paramed exam: 3–6 weeks. Final expense and guaranteed-issue: 1–3 days. We tell you up front exactly how long the carrier we recommend will take, and whether we should layer a short-term policy in the meantime.
Can I have more than one life insurance policy?
Yes, and many of our clients do — for example, a 30-year $500K policy on top of a 20-year $500K policy creates more coverage in the early years when kids are young and less later when they are independent. This “laddering” strategy often saves 20–30% versus a single larger policy.
Will my smoking or marijuana use affect my rates?
Cigarettes: yes, significantly — most carriers double or triple the rate. Marijuana: only some carriers surcharge, and at least four major carriers do not rate it at all if you are otherwise healthy. Cigars and pipe (occasional, non-daily) are treated leniently by some carriers. We know which carriers are friendliest for each situation.
