Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
Just been thinking if I'm over protected with my Term Life insurance policies. The expense is not huge, but wondering if many canceled after reaching FI and/or ER.
Personally, I'm on the borderline of FI, another year should do it with hopeful RE around age 48, in 6 years.
I have the following term life insurance policies:
- Company sponsored policy at 2x salary (no cost to me)
- 1st Personal policy 4x salary, 20 year term, expires at age 60 ($500/year cost)
- 2nd Personal policy at 2x salary, 30 year term, expires at age 70 ($400/year cost)
I'm thinking the 2nd Personal policy was a mistake and might drop it. If I drop any policy, it be more costly to get back into a new policy.
Part of me is thinking, even if FIRE, keep the policy enforce by paying the annual cost, so if something happened to me, that's just more $$ for my family.
Any thoughts?
