When is the best time to apply for a life insurance policy?
The answer is: the sooner, the better.
Life insurance rates are based on your age and health at the time of your application. It’s important to take out life insurance sooner than later. With each passing year, the cost rises and anything could pop up, derailing your plans to secure coverage.
Let’s take a look at how much life insurance would cost you at 20, 30, 40 or 50 years old:
