When Term Life Insurance Is A Good Idea For Young Adults

2010-06-05

Young adults, under the age of thirty, typically do not consider death a possibility and usually perceive of paying life insurance premiums as a huge waste of money. Many are just beginning careers or newlyweds with a new home. Term life insurance will provide the necessary security and will not cause financial hardship.

There is not a qualifying medical examination associated with term insurance. The purchaser has to answer a few questions, for example, have they been hospitalized or under the care of a physician in the past two or three years, if they smoke, if they are HIV positive and any medications they are taking and the name of the prescribing physicians. If there is nothing remarkable or consequential in the query, the policy is approved.

The most economical young adult life insurance is unequivocal to term life insurance. It has a high face value, the amount payable at death; it is very cost efficient. The premiums are virtually pennies a day in comparison to whole or universal life premiums, which are considerably higher. The policy term is in incremental terms of ten or twenty year and unlike other young adult life insurance that is sold as whole life or universal life insurance, there is not any accrued cash/loan value.

The risk of death before thirty for young adults in reasonable good health is rare; therefore, the risk is minimal, which translates into inexpensive premiums. Most single young people require insurance to pay outstanding debts such as credit card bills, or student loans, pay for final expenses, and any remaining funds paid to the designated beneficiary. Young married adults with dependents need a policy that will pay any outstanding debts, pay off the mortgage and automobiles, sufficient amount for living expenses, future educational costs of minor children, and financial security for the surviving spouse. Term insurance is an economical, responsible, and wise choice that will adequately provide for these needs and future expenses.

Most term insurance policies offer conversion at the expiration of the policy term to a whole life of universal life plans without a qualifying medical exam. This benefit is important, as age increases the possibility of critical illnesses or health considerations manifest themselves that can be a negative implication on a medical exam. This higher risk translates into higher premiums or insurance coverage to be declined.

Finally, young adult life insurance is a necessity, not a discretionary expense. Term life insurance will prevent a financial burden to the family or significant others, and pay outstanding debts and final expenses for all young adults.
