As you check off school supply lists and prep for the year ahead, hereās a smart move most parents overlook ā but those in the know are already doing:
Use life insurance as a college planning tool.
Yes, you read that right. When set up early and properly, a permanent life insurance policy (like whole or universal life) for your child or young adult can build cash value over time ā money you can potentially use to help pay for college tuition, a first car, or even a down payment on a home.
Itās a powerful, flexible financial tool ā and the earlier you start, the bigger the benefit.
š” Be Ahead of the Curve ā Why Now Is the Best Time
ā Build Tax-Advantaged Savings for Education
While 529 plans are limited to education expenses, the cash value in life insurance can be used for anything. Plus, it doesnāt count against FAFSA like traditional savings can.
ā Lock In Ultra-Low Rates Now
The younger and healthier your child is, the lower the cost of life insurance. Get in early, and you lock in those low premiums for life ā no matter what health issues may come later.
ā Guarantee Their Insurability for the Future
A policy now guarantees theyāll always have coverage ā even if they develop health issues as they grow. Thatās peace of mind you canāt buy later.
ā Protection When the Unthinkable Happens
While itās painful to consider, life insurance can cover medical bills, funeral costs, or grief counseling ā helping you focus on healing, not finances.
š Start Smart. Plan Ahead. Be the Parent Whoās Prepared.
Most people donāt think about life insurance until they need it ā but by then, itās often more expensive or harder to get. The smartest families are already setting their kids up for financial freedom early.
You can be ahead of the curve ā and give your child more than just an education.
Give them a financial head start that grows with them.
