Tips for buying life insurance

Here are a few tips for buying life insurance courtesy of msn.com
1. Figure out your needs. You can use online calculators or contact a Kimberley Vassal insurance agent to get a rough idea of how much money it would take to cover your surviving spouse’s expenses until retirement, and/or your children’s expenses until they reach adulthood or finish college.
2. Opt for term life. A term-life policy is the best and simplest option for most Americans ranging in age from about 20 to about 50.
3. Get in shape. To improve your risk class, you can take steps such as quitting smoking, losing weight and reducing your cholesterol and blood pressure if they’re high. You also can get that exam before you apply for insurance so you’re not hit with any surprises. 
4. Make adjustments as needed. Your life insurance needs will change over the years – most notably when you marry, divorce, have a child or start caring for an aging parent.
