Canceling life insurance

I’m Miriam  Neff-with STARTING OVER FINANCIALLY,-and I’m Valerie Neff Hogan, and we’re here to talk about money

M  I recently met a new widow. Though her faith is vibrant, she’s struggling in many areas.  Not the least of which is her finances.  She revealed a sad fact.  Just days before her husbands unexpected death, he had canceled his life insurance policy with her permission.

V What seemed like a frugal move at the time is changing her reality today.  Fortunately her adult son sat with her and they created a stringent budget. She cringed telling me about it.  Budgets may need trimming, but that’s an item to keep.  Term life insurance is a reasonable choice.

M Our advice, keep life insurance policies current and paid.  There’s always another discretionary area that can be trimmed.
