2020 brought us all new challenges that we never could have imagined just a year before, and made us all more acutely aware of our own mortality and how vulnerable we all are.
2021 brings in a new year, and even though nobody knows what the future holds, everyone knows what and who’s important to them; perhaps now more than ever.
If you have children, a partner or other family members that depend on your income to cover their living expenses and the home they live in, you should make your new year's resolution to consider family life insurance to help provide for your loved ones in the event of your death. You can’t rely on the government to take care of your family – the money they would get from the state is much lower than you’d probably expect.

A resolution worth sticking to
The good news is, if you’re looking for a life insurance policy, there’s never been a better time with all the online life insurance options now available.
It also should be considered good value for money, especially when you consider that it often works out at just a few pence a day and the younger you are when you buy it, the cheaper your monthly premiums will be.
To understand what type and level of life insurance you need, it’s important to take on board your individual circumstances, like savings, mortgages and existing credit arrangements in place. As everyone’s situation is different, so is the type of protection you need and depends on your personal situation and what stage you are in life. Your age, health in general (including if you’re a smoker) and occupation are just a few factors that are considered when applying for cover and how much your monthly premium (payment amount) will be.
The 2 main types of life insurance are 'term' life insurance and 'whole-of-life'insurance.
‘Term’ life insurance policies run for a fixed period of time (known as the ‘term’ of your policy) eg. 10, 15 or 25 years - but only pay out if you were to die during the term of the policy. This is seen by many as ‘Mortgage Life Insurance’, as it could be used to help your dependants pay off your mortgage in the event of your death. It’s also often sold as a decreasing-term policy so, as you gradually pay off your mortgage, any payout would incrementally reduce over time.
‘Whole-of-life’ insurance policies pay out regardless of when you die, as long as you keep up with your premium payments.
