September is Life Insurance Awareness Month
SIKESTON -- Could your life insurance replace your income if something were to happen to you? For how long? When was the last time you reviewed your coverage?
These are some of the questions posed by supporters of Life Insurance Awareness Month, a nationwide campaign created in 2004 by Life Happens. Life Happens is an organization dedicated to educating consumers on financial products and topics.
"Some people think talking about life insurance is grim or pessimistic," said Lee Bowman Jr, Financial Representative for Modern Woodmen of America, "but it really shouldn't be. Life insurance is a financially smart way to prepare for the unexpected -- and inevitable."
Life insurance serves a number of purposes; it can cover funeral costs and hospital bills, fund your family's living expenses and future plans, and/or provide a thoughtful donation to a charity or cause that's important to you.
