As you reach your 50s you might find you’re spending less on paying your mortgage, raising your kids, or paying back loans. Which means you might now have the option to put some money towards your long-term financial plans.
Even if you're at the peak of your earning potential and you’re not concerned about finances right now, it's important to prepare for the unexpected. Things can change quickly, and should tragedy strike, the costs could put your family under pressure. Over 50 Life Insurance can be a great solution to this kind of uncertainty.
Here’s the good news — it’s never too late for life insurance and it’s easier than ever to secure a policy.
A plan for the future
Life is unpredictable but that doesn’t mean you can’t prepare for the unexpected. When you buy life insurance, you’re making a plan for the future that ensures your family have some financial help when it’s needed most. Avoiding thinking about it could leave your loved ones struggling to pay for your funeral and other expenses when you’re gone. But spending just a little bit of time on it now could make all the difference down the line.
It could help with bills
When you die, it's not just fond memories and personal belongings you'll leave behind. In some cases, your outstanding bills will need to be taken care of too. Do you know who will be picking them up? Even if you’ve put your affairs in order, there could be expenses that pop up unexpectedly and cause your loved ones stress.
The average cost of a funeral in the UK is rising every year. According to our Funeral Costs Report 2022, you could pay up to £8,000 for a funeral in the UK, depending on the personalisation and choices made. 35% of respondents in our Funeral Planning survey said they have not yet set any money aside for their own funeral, while 26% of those questioned for our Funeral Opinions survey think that if they were to suffer a family bereavement now they would not be able to afford to cover the cost of a funeral. In short, a death in the family often means a substantial bill to pay in distressing circumstances.
