Very reasonable. We chose a 30 year term ... and we did 5 years salary (min) for each of us. And, I agree, any amount is awesome to have. I think with SF, they have small plans (maybe 250K) starting at $15/month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/life-insurance-help-please#post-1226600 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 11:02:25 +0000 MamaMoose 1226600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did 30 year term (life of our mortgage plus a little since we bought the policies a couple years after we bought our house). We did enough to pay off the mortgage in full, and then cover LO's college tuition. </p> <p>It will be very hard to make a rec for a specific company because your specific situation (location, age, etc) will determine which company can offer you the best rate. I would suggest finding an independant agent who can run you quotes from multiple companies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/life-insurance-help-please#post-1226578 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 10:58:06 +0000 mrsjyw 1226578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i think the general rule is get term life for the life of your mortgage so that your SO is covered if something were to happen in those years. </p> <p>whole life insurance in any amount is always a :bfp: in my book! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/life-insurance-help-please#post-1226571 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 10:55:43 +0000 threeplusme 1226571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just realized that now that I am not working I no longer have life insurance. Any recommendations of companies and term vs. whe and how much to get. Thanks. </p>
