How to Reduce Your Life Insurance Premium

image of mom and babyThe ability to protect your family against the day when you aren't around is a precious thing. This is why taking out a life insurance policy shouldn't be done lightly. Careful consideration about giving your family the best protection possible is important. However, paying more doesn't necessarily equate to better protection. The following tips will explain this further.

Know How Much Insurance You Need

Many people don't carefully examine their expenses at a detailed level. This can result in overly conservative guesstimates, which means that premiums can be unnecessarily high. In addition, your current policy should be examined for benefits that don't apply to your situation.

Improve Your Health

Improved health can prolong your life expectancy, which makes you a better bet for insurance companies. This lower risk may be reflected in lower premiums. Adopt a healthy lifestyle, which includes healthy eating and regular exercise. This includes eliminating unhealthy habits such as smoking and excessive alcohol consumption. The word "lifestyle" is used deliberately because staying healthy over the long-term is a lifelong effort.

Be a Safe Driver

Poor driving skills and bad driving habits increase your risk of a premature death. In order to stay in business, insurance companies must factor this into their rates. This is why they take your driving record into consideration when calculating your premium. Safer drivers are much more likely to pay less for life insurance.

Consider Term Life Insurance

Term life insurance is more affordable than whole life insurance. Make sure you understand the pros and cons of each. Whole life insurance may be more costly, but the rates are fixed and policies build cash value. Term life insurance simply pays the policy amount after one's death, if it occurs during the policy term. The rates aren't fixed and can increase at certain milestones, such as when you renew coverage or transition into a higher age group.

Buy Life Insurance While You’re Still Young

Young people, generally speaking, have fewer life threatening conditions. In addition, they will make premium payments over a lengthy span of time before their beneficiaries ever have to use the policy. Because of these two factors, their premium rates are lower. Buying life insurance while you are young and locking in these rates is a good strategy.

Talk to an Independent Insurance Agent

The above tips are by no means exhaustive. Take advantage of the expertise of an agent to find more ways of lowering your premiums, while still benefitting from great coverage.
