Common Questions

What San Marcos families ask us about life insurance.

How much does term life insurance cost for a young San Marcos family?

Less than many people expect. LIMRA’s 2025 research found adults under 31 estimate the cost of a $250,000, 20-year term policy at 10 to 12 times what it actually costs. Your price depends on age, health, tobacco use, coverage amount, and term length.

When is a good time to buy life insurance?

Usually when someone starts depending on your income, like when you buy a home or have a child. Premiums are based on your age and health when you apply, so buying earlier generally locks in a lower rate for the full term.

Does my San Marcos employer's life insurance stay with me if I leave?

Usually not. Workplace life coverage typically ends when you leave the job, and converting it to an individual policy can be expensive. A personal policy stays with you no matter where you work.

What is laddering life insurance?

It means buying two or more term policies with different lengths, such as a 30-year and a 20-year policy. As debts shrink and kids grow up, the shorter policy ends and your premium drops, while the longer coverage stays in place.

Can I add life insurance for my children?

Yes. Many policies offer a child rider that covers all of your children for a modest amount under one premium. Some parents buy a small whole life policy for a child instead, which keeps coverage in place regardless of future health.
