The True Cost of Life Insurance

True cost of life insurance

 “I can’t afford it.”

This is one of the most common reasons people give for not having life insurance. But the truth is: It’s less expensive than you think.

People with no life insurance overestimate its cost by three times. And even those who have coverage, overestimate its cost by two times.1

Did you know that a healthy 30-year-old man would pay less than $13 a month for a 20-year, $250,000, level-term policy?2

While it is an expense that you have to budget for, imagine what the financial impact would be for your family if something were to happen to you and you had no life insurance coverage at all.

There’s a policy to fit every budget, and a life insurance agent can help you find coverage that’s right for you.

Off to College !!

Westfield Insurance – Wespak

It’s that time of year! Your children are going back to college and they have a lot of stuff to take.

If renting a U-Haul, take this into consideration:

  1. There is $2000 coverage under a Wespak for non-owned trailers.
  2. Most of the time, the trailers are valued higher than that limit and need to have the physical damage coverages purchased from the rental facility.
  3. Any drivable U-Haul vehicle will need to have coverage purchased because they are commercial vehicles not personal ones.
  4. A box truck is always rated commercially.
