September is Life Insurance Awareness Month: Are You Financially Fit?

(Binghamton, NY · August 31, 2017) This year, the LIFE Foundation has selected Danica Patrick, professional race car driver and athlete, as the spokesperson for Life Insurance Awareness Month. When it comes to fitness, Danica believes that taking care of yourself is all about your self-worth and focusing on your health, what you eat and your finances. According to Danica, “An important part of financial fitness is having a plan that includes life insurance.” Growing up, Danica saw the importance her family placed on life insurance protection. She realized that your family’s everyday life expenses don’t magically go away if something happens to you. “Life insurance is one of those things that you can completely customize to meet your needs and your ability to pay,” Danica said. Watch Danica’s video testimonial from Life Happens, a nonprofit organization, for her special message.

During Life Insurance Awareness Month, we encourage you to explore our website and to visit the LIFE Foundation’s website at http://www.lifehappens.org to discover the many ways life insurance may help ensure your family’s financial security. Life insurance proceeds can fund many types of expenses, such as: paying funeral expenses, providing income for survivors, paying mortgages and other debts, creating an estate, payment of estate or inheritance taxes, providing a cash flow in retirement, paying for college, borrowing money/taking a policy loan, equalizing an inheritance, funding of business continuation plans, funding of charitable gifts and so much more.
