Spring cleaning is a time of new beginnings and fresh starts—it is a total renewal. The trees are budding, the flowers sprout, the lush green that has been dormant all winter starts to grow back. Each Spring makes me think of my family and how quickly my children are growing—how Jason and I have grown as a couple, as individuals, as parents.Protecting Your Family With Life Insurance 

One of the things I have been meaning to check off my to-do list is our life insurance coverage. We are a young family and to imagine actually needing life insurance can be uncomfortable, but I would much rather be safe than sorry and have my husband and children taken care of. 

For us, term life insurance is the right choice, which provides coverage at a fixed rate for a limited period of time – often 10, 15, 20 or 30 years. So for Jason and I, it would cover the years our family needs financial help the most — until our mortgage is paid off and the kids are adults — should something happen to either of us.

Protecting Your Family With Life Insurance 

Believe me, the idea of something happening to either of us gives me chills, and that is probably the reason why people avoid talking about life insurance, choosing a coverage amount, or put it off entirely. BUT it doesn’t have to be a morbid conversation—just think of it as being prepared for anything. Jason and I have been incredibly responsible our whole lives, working hard and saving to provide for our family—it would be irresponsible for us not to be prepared for the worst-case scenario, too.

Researching insurance can be a daunting task but online life insurance agency Haven Life makes it very simple to buy term coverage at rates most of us can actually afford. Plus, they make the whole process feel seamless. Another reason why people put off these tasks is because they can feel like such a chore, but Haven Life’s simple and convenient process for buying a policy is actually very easy.

Protecting Your Family With Life Insurance 

Haven Life offers a simple online application, which lets applicants (up to age 64) apply for a term life insurance policy and receive an instant coverage decision. If approved, you can start coverage that day. BUT don’t let the digital process make you feel like this is some anonymous transaction—Haven Life has an incredibly dedicated and compassionate customer support team to help you along the process if necessary.

Term life insurance is a cost-effective way to help cover your family during the years they will need it most. The payout can be used for important expenses – your mortgage, kid’s college, or co-signed debt – should something happen to you. And best yet, Haven Life is backed and wholly owned by MassMutual, a leading insurer.

Check out the Haven Life site to learn more about term life insurance and get an initial quote. You can also use their nifty life insurance calculator to get an idea of what coverage best fits your family’s needs. Since I have three children and they are still little, I figure a 15-year policy is a good place to be since that will cover them until they are adults, but there are plenty of options available for 10, 15, 20 and 30-year terms. 

I am younger than 45-years-old, in excellent health, with no nicotine use or health conditions – according to Haven Life, for me, a 15-year $1 million Haven Term policy, issued by MassMutual, would start at about $29 per month. I mean…wow. I spend probably triple that on coffee each month!

If you don’t have term life insurance, consider how your family would be impacted should something happen to you. As a parent, it’s your greatest responsibility to protect them. Apply for term life insurance through Haven Life.

  1. After my mom passed last year, I saw the importance of having life insurance. It’s definitley important for everyone to have.

  2. The subject of life insurance can be uncomfortable; but it is a necessity. I agree that term life insurance can be the most beneficial. Haven Life sounds like a great agency.

  3. Danielle Smith

    I like that Haven Life offers different year amount options. This would come in handy in making the decision on which policy is best for your family.

  4. I think having life insurance is a must! I feel it’s our responsibility to leave our loved-ones with financial stability if something were to happen to either of us.

  5. Those are great rates! We’ve been putting off getting life insurance, but with rates like that, I think it’s time we finally did it.

  6. Melissa Chapman

    This is a very interesting idea for me because my husband has insurance for a few more years and I don’t have right now. I will have to consider insurance for myself but need to think it over.

  7. This is great. It’s so important to be protected as a family with life insurance. We just updated actually for our newest addition.

  8. Life insurance is crucial since you can never be too prepared. We currently have coverage through my husband’s employer, which is also backed by MassMutual, but may be looking to increase the amount soon.

  9. I so need life insurance, I keep thinking about it and then forget to look into it. I am glad you’re bringing the subject up again, it’s important for sure to think about!

  10. Life insurance is something that we should all make a priority to have. I’ve seen way too many families struggling to pay final expenses after a loved one has passed. I would never want to leave my family with that kind of burden!

  11. I’ve often thought about getting extra life insurance but thank goodness we have it through my husband’s work. Everyone should have life insurance bc you just never know

    Having a life insurance is a great protection for the family. Glad you opened up this topic. Such a great reminder for families.

  13. Life insurance is really important no matter how dreadful it is to talk about. I think it’s really great that you found a company that you’re comfortable with and that offers you more than what you need.

    I’m glad to see you addressing this important topic, Brianne. No one likes to think about losing their partner, but it does happen, in fact, it happened to my husband Jim when we was younger. His wife Carol died suddenly in her early 40s. They had insurance, but were underinsured and he struggled raising their two children on one salary. Life insurance is so important for young families, and later in life as well. Jim and I have term life policies on each other, as income replacement, so if anything happens to one of us, the other will be able to reach our retirement goals.
