Insurance Discounts
Take advantage of these insurance discounts now to save on expensive long term care costs and to make sure that you can leave a legacy to your loved ones.
1. Long Term Care Insurance
Buying long term care insurance early makes you eligible for health discounts. You can save a significant amount of money on premiums when you compare plans and buy coverage early. To give you an idea of how much you can save if you buy coverage when you’re 55 and when you’re 65.
Getting covered early has a big impact on women, which helps them save nearly a thousand dollar.
2. Life Insurance
Every year you postpone buying life insurance means an increase in your premiums by 8% to 10%. As you grow older, your life insurance costs can increase significantly. What’s even worse is the fact that a lot of people have a hard time qualifying for life insurance because of their old age.
