February 18th, 2020
Life insurance needs for a young married couple. Veronica and Lars have been together for five years. They recently bought a home costing $110,000 using an $88,000 mortgage. They have no other debts. Lars earns $33,750 per year, and Veronica earns $39,570. Each has a retirement plan valued at approximately $18,500. Their only life insurance currently is employer-sponsored term life insurance which covers each of them at double their salary amount. They each would like to provide the other with support for at least five years if one of them should die.
