National Life Insurance Day

Today is National Life Insurance Day! It marks the anniversary of the first day that life insurance became available in the United States and takes place every May 2nd. The day is designed to help educate individuals on the benefits of life insurance and how to secure it for themselves. Life insurance does more than support your family after your loss; it can also ensure you don’t fall into debt, pre-fund a child’s college education, and keep a business afloat for a while in the event of the death of a family member who owned a business. Most life insurance policies make it possible to establish an emergency fund while making sure your family is taken care of.
