AccuQuote, a leading provider of term life insurance quotes to people across the United States, provides three reasons why stay at home moms should consider purchasing term life insurance, especially in today's economic climate.
Wheeling, IL (PRWEB) November 9, 2009 – AccuQuote, a leader in providing term life insurance quotes to people across the United States, provides three reasons why stay at home moms need term life insurance, especially in today’s economic climate.
“Life insurance isn’t just for the breadwinner of the family,” says Byron Udell, founder and CEO of AccuQuote. “Stay at home moms are responsible for numerous daily tasks that would otherwise cost families thousands of dollars extra a month if they paid a professional to do these services. An inexpensive life insurance policy can help pay for these services if the stay at home mom is no longer around,” says Udell.
Udell suggests the following three reasons why stay at home moms need to consider purchasing a term life insurance policy:
1. Stay at home mom responsibilities are valuable – According to salary experts, stay at home moms would make an average salary of $150,000 a year for all of the services they provide for their families. Some of these services include childcare, housekeeping and laundry. “If you were to die today, make sure your family has the additional finances necessary to pay for these services without your support,” says Udell.
2. Term life insurance rates for woman are low – “Keep in mind that term life insurance rates are near historic lows. And term rates are considerably less expensive for women because of their better overall health and longer life expectancies. So with these low rates, there’s no better time to protect your family’s financial future,” says Udell.
3. Now more than ever – Udell suggests that buying term life insurance is more important than ever. “The reality is that families today don’t have the financial security that they once had. By purchasing term life insurance policies for both parents, your family will have a better chance of surviving financially if something devastating were to happen,” he says.
Experts suggest purchasing a term life insurance policy that is 10 to 15 times one’s average salary. A stay at home mom can average their annual salary by multiplying the average hourly wage of the task performed by how many hours a day they perform that task.
