A common starting point is 10 to 12 times your annual income. But the right number depends on your mortgage balance, number of dependents, existing savings, and what you want your family to be able to do financially if you are gone. We conduct a free needs analysis for every Georgia client to calculate the right number for your specific situation — not a generic estimate.
Term life covers you for a set period — typically 10, 20, or 30 years — and pays a death benefit if you pass away during that term. It is straightforward and affordable. Whole life covers you permanently and builds cash value over time, but costs more. Most Georgia families with dependents and a mortgage start with term. We will tell you which one fits your situation.
Employer-provided life insurance typically covers one to two times your annual salary — which is rarely enough to fully protect your family. It also disappears if you change jobs or get laid off. A personal policy through The Foreman Agency stays with you regardless of your employment situation and can be sized to actually replace your income.
The younger and healthier you are, the lower your premium. Every year you wait costs more. The best time to buy is when you have people who depend on your income — a spouse, children, or a mortgage. If that describes your situation today, waiting does not save you anything.
Yes. While premiums increase with age, life insurance remains available and can serve important purposes for older Georgia residents — covering final expenses, leaving a legacy, or supporting estate planning goals. We conduct a needs analysis for clients at every life stage and will give you an honest assessment of what makes sense for your situation.
