Reminder: Why Now is the Best Time to Get Life Insurance

Financial Horizons: Insights for Building Wealth and Securing Your Legacy

By Dr. Jose G. Cardenas, Chief Tax Strategist at The C & R Group, LLC

When it comes to life insurance, there’s one truth that cuts through all the noise: the best time to get coverage is now. Waiting only increases costs, reduces options, and leaves your family exposed. Just like a seat belt is useless if you only buckle up after the accident, life insurance is most effective when it’s in place before you need it.

The Cost of Waiting

Life insurance premiums are based on age and health. The younger and healthier you are, the lower your premiums. Waiting until you’re older—or worse, after a medical diagnosis—means higher costs or even denial of coverage. Acting today secures protection while you’re in your strongest position.

Protecting Your Family’s Future

Life insurance isn’t about you—it’s about the people you leave behind. Whether it’s replacing lost income, covering debts, or ensuring your children’s education, life insurance creates a financial safety net when your loved ones need it most. Procrastination leaves them unprotected in the face of tragedy.

Locking In Guaranteed Benefits

The longer you wait, the fewer policy options you’ll have. Many products, such as Indexed Universal Life (IUL) or Whole Life insurance, allow you to build tax-advantaged cash value over time. The earlier you start, the more powerful that compounding growth becomes—helping with both protection and retirement planning.

Peace of Mind Starts Today

Life is unpredictable. Accidents, illnesses, and unexpected circumstances don’t wait for us to be “ready.” Taking action now eliminates uncertainty and gives you and your family confidence that their financial security is protected—no matter what comes.

The truth is simple: life insurance is not a “someday” decision. It’s a “today” decision.
