From college grads to retirees, your life insurance needs shift. This guide breaks down common life stages—20s, 30s–40s, 50s, 60s+—and recommends the right policy for each. Learn how term, universal, and final-expense policies work, and why riders that pay early for illness can ease today's worries. It’s insurance with thoughtful timing—because Our Policy Is Caring.
Before diving into the details, here’s the big picture: the “right” life-insurance policy shifts as life itself changes. In your 20s, inexpensive term coverage is usually enough; by your 30s and 40s, longer-term protection plus child riders make more sense; in your 50s, guaranteed universal life locks in a lifetime benefit without whole-life prices; and after 60, affordable final-expense plans spare family from end-of-life costs. Living-benefit riders can add extra peace of mind at any age. This guide—written in TWFG’s warm, “family-first” voice—shows you how to match coverage to every chapter. Because Our Policy Is Caring.
Life looks very different at 25 than it does at 65. Debts, dependents, and retirement goals all change, and so should your policy. The good news? TWFG partners with 300 + carriers, giving you tailored options at every stage.
Aim for enough to wipe out private student loans and cover funeral costs—typically $100k–$250k.
Use a small monthly premium to build the habit of being insured; upgrade once career and income grow.
Multiply annual income by 10–12, then add mortgage balance and college savings goals.
Review the policy every time a new baby arrives or your salary jumps; you can usually increase coverage mid-term.
Cover outstanding debts and leave a clear legacy—$250k–$500k is common.
Look for policies with “no-lapse” guarantees so the benefit never disappears as long as premiums are paid.
$10k–$25k—enough to lift the financial burden from loved ones.
Compare rates for men vs. women; women typically save $5–$10 per month on final-expense plans.
These riders may add a few dollars to the premium but can save thousands during a medical crisis.
Do I need life insurance if I’m single with no kids?
Yes—debts and funeral costs still fall on family. A low-cost term plan covers them affordably.
Can I own multiple policies?
Absolutely. Many families layer term and permanent coverage to match different goals.
Will premiums skyrocket if I wait?
Rates climb 8–10 % each year you delay in your 30s and 40s; locking in sooner saves money long-term.
That’s caring coverage in action.
