Life Insurance: 3 Myths Busted!
There are misconceptions about life insurance; namely cost, coverage, and convenience. Below are three life insurance myths that have been busted!
- Myth 1: Employer Provides Adequate Coverage.
Untrue and unreliable. The standard "1 year of salary" often provides only enough for immediate expenses.
- Myth 2: It's Too Expensive.
Coverage costs are overestimated. Comprehensive coverage can cost as little as 150 USD a year.
- Myth 3: It's Inconvenient.
Not anymore. Many can enroll online without the need for medical testing and be covered right away.
