There are different types of policies, and those policies come in different amounts, making the whole process of selecting the best life insurance policy trickier.

You should take a look at your long-term goals, and your savings account to determine what assets you have that can be used towards your expenses, such as paying off your mortgage and funding your children’s college fund.

Determine Your Financial Gap

After you have an idea of where you are, you need to determine where you want your family to be financially if you were no longer in the picture. Do you want them to have a nest egg of $100,000? Would you like for your mortgage to be paid in addition to the nest egg of $100,000? You can determine you can determine your financial gap by subtracting where you are currently (a monetary figure) from where you want your family to be if you are no longer able to provide for them (a monetary figure).
