Life insurance, in combination with other liquid assets, can ensure your surviving family members of the resources they need to continue their lifestyle and goals. Important goals can include paying off the mortgage, funding of children's education, retirement plans, and having a source of continued income. To survive comfortably, the average to family typically may need a life insurance benefit equal to 5 to 7 times the gross annual income of the insured member. A common strategy is to invest the insurance benefits and other liquid assets to yield an ongoing monthly income without reducing your capital.
