Why you may need more life insurance

"Why do I need life insurance?"

Life is full of pleasant surprises and, at the same time, life holds uncertainties.It's easier to plan for happy events you know will occur, and more difficult toplan for the unexpected--such as a death.

If you were no longer there to help support your family, how would they beable to…

ü Pay off loans--credit cards, mortgage, and auto?

ü Maintain their standard of living--utilities, food, clothing, and personalexpenses?

ü Pay monthly rent or mortgage?

ü Provide for your children's future--tuition for their education andweddings?

ü Pay your final expenses--medical care, burial, estate settlement, andinheritance taxes?

A sufficient amount of life insurance can give you peace of mind now and helpyour family financially recover from your loss during a very stressful time.

"I already have life insurance--why do I need more?"

Research has shown that 77% of households, earning between $35,000 and$125,000 per year, say they do not have adequate resources to replace lostincome. Thirty-four percent of households within the same range of earningsreport not having enough life insurance.1

You may be underinsured if your salary has increased since you last purchasedinsurance. Plus, when you consider new family responsibilities - a new home orchild - and inflation, the life insurance coverage you have now may not offerenough protection for your family.

"How can I help protect my loved ones?"

Buy life insurance at work. Your employer offers you the opportunity topurchase Optional Term Life Insurance issued by The Prudential InsuranceCompany of America.

As millions of Americans have discovered, insurance at group rates fromPrudential is a smart choice.
