You're starting a family
Stay-at-home parents perform a lot of duties for free—if you had to pay someone else, it could get expensive. Getting cover for both of you can help keep the home front protected.

You're planning for retirement
Some couples now have fewer expenses, but if you’re still paying off your mortgage or saving for retirement, life insurance could help protect your retirement goals.

You're retired
Life insurance gets more expensive as you get older, so consider whether it still meets your needs. If you still have dependents or financial commitments, it may be useful.
