What is Life Insurance? [Video]
by Trevore Meyer, Financial Design Studio
In this next four part series we are going to be exploring life insurance. The videos include; what is life insurance, why it’s important to have it, and what are the things you should be looking out for when you’re evaluating it. Now I understand no one likes to talk about what might happen when they die. It’s a morbid and challenging discussion to have. If you can have this discussion with your family ahead of time it can really help. This can take a large amount of stress off of their shoulders when this event comes to pass.
