Before you sign or switch, spend ten minutes on life insurance.
Keep simple records
Store PDFs, renewal emails, and dated photos in one folder by year. When you need to claim or switch, folders outperform memory.
Review triggers
Set reminders for renewal and for life events: moving, marriage, children, or a new job. life insurance is rarely a one-time task.
Build a fair comparison
Use three columns — must-have, nice-to-have, deal-breaker — and score each option before you buy. The final document beats the advert every time.
Confirm current terms with providers before acting on general information.
