Understanding Life Insurance: Common Misconceptions and Eye-Opening Discoveries
Navigating the world of life insurance can often feel overwhelming and, to some, even uncomfortable. Yet, despite its sometimes intimidating reputation, it remains a vital component of comprehensive financial planning.
In discussions with many individuals, I’ve noticed prevalent misconceptions that can lead to misunderstandings about its true purpose and benefits. For instance, some believe that life insurance is only necessary for older adults, dismissing its potential value earlier in life.
