Life and disability insurance when you are first starting out

When you begin your first job out of college or trade school, marry, and start a family, the last thing you are likely to think about is dying or suffering a permanent disability that might prevent you from working. But, as Stonewall Grace Insurance, serving Buena Vista, VA notes, death and injury can happen to everyone, even the young and the vigorous, as well as the old and infirm.

A life and disability insurance policy will provide, if nothing else, peace of mind that if something does happen to you, your family will be taken care of. Your not being around or being unable to work, with the attendant medical bills a disability implies, will result in a lot of financial obligations. If you have bought a house, the payout from insurance policy will help with the mortgage. Your children’s education can be taken care of. Of course, your final expenses, including the cost of a funeral and settling any debts, such as a car note or credit card balance, can be dealt with as well.

No one likes to think about death or injury at a young age, which means that younger people often do not even think about life and disability insurance until they are older. Sadly, your younger years are the perfect time to get such a policy. Your premiums are likely to be much lower than if you wait until you are middle-aged or even elderly.
