Life Insurance Awareness Month: Why September Matters

September is recognized as Life Insurance Awareness Month, a time dedicated to highlighting the importance of protecting your loved ones through proper financial planning. Whether you’re reviewing your current policy or considering life insurance for the first time, this month is the perfect opportunity to learn how coverage safeguards your family’s future

6 Reasons Life Insurance Matters

1. Protects your loved ones financially
   Coverage ensures that your family can continue paying for daily living expenses, tuition, or even future goals if the unexpected happens.

2. Covers final expenses
   Funerals and medical bills can be overwhelming. Life insurance relieves your loved ones from that sudden financial weight.

3. Pays off debts left behind
   Mortgages, loans, and credit cards don’t disappear. Life insurance keeps them from becoming someone else’s responsibility.

4. Replaces lost income
   Your paycheck supports your family’s lifestyle. Life insurance helps replace that steady support when it’s needed most.

5. Leaves a legacy
   Beyond necessities, life insurance can help fund a charity, create a scholarship, or provide lasting impact.

6. Brings peace of mind today
   Knowing your family is financially secure gives you freedom to enjoy life more fully in the present.

Why September Matters

Life Insurance Awareness Month shines a spotlight on the importance of preparing for the unexpected. It’s also a natural time to check in:

• Do you have coverage?
