Life Insurance Isn’t Just About Death We hear it all the time—“I don’t want to think about death.” This can be especially true when life insurance for children enters the discussion. However, life insurance isn’t just about death. When used correctly, it can provide liquidity and certainty... and peace of mind. It might also surprise you to learn that cash value life insurance is useful in teaching children good money habits. This is a key in family banking strategies and building generational wealth.  If you’re skeptical, we understand—and that’s exactly why we’re going to be digging into the topic today.  How to Reframe Your Insurance Mindset Today, most financial planning involves saving for a future goal—retirement, college, etc. In turn, this often means locking money up in qualified plans like a 401k or 529 plan, where it’s inaccessible for long periods of time.

And while thinking about death can cause a lot of emotions to bubble to the surface, it’s an event none of us can avoid. Thinking about it as a logical protection mechanism, rather than an omen, can help you combat any misgivings. And in the long run, you’ll have financially prepared your loved ones for what will be a difficult time.  Building a Portfolio of Policies Over the course of your life, you’ll likely be entitled to more insurance.
