How to choose the 
right life insurance coverage?

To determine adequate coverage, assess monthly expenses and any outstanding debt, account for important life events, and manage money for retirement.

Calculate the future value of your child's education and marriage for appropriate coverage.

Consider the value of current investments and deduct them from life insurance coverage requirements. 

Age and wealth should also be taken into account when calculating term insurance needs.
