Term Life Insurance

April 30, 2004 6:25 AM

We've talked about Health Insurance a few times - what about Term Life Insurance? I'm +40 years old with two kids and would like a bit more insurance than my job provides (basically 1 year salary). Should I go with a place like Reliaquote and just pick the best offer? Or is there a better approach?

Motley Fool has a lot of info on choosing life insurance.

I often get no-frills term life offers with my credit card statements which look like pretty good deals. In fact, I had a $50,000 policy through CNA for a while, since I owed some money to my dad. $9 a month. Of course, more coverage costs more, as will your age, but I seem to remember it was still fairly reasonable.
