Similar to birth, death involves planning, time and financial resources. Life insurance plays a role in this kind of planning, as financial protection for your survivors and dependents upon your death. A life insurance policy is a sum of money for designated survivors that amounts to a value that you would in your livelihood. While people don’t walk around with price tags stuck to their foreheads, life insurance puts a monetary value on life so that it’s possible to come up with a financial plan for your family if and when your death occurs.

You know exactly what your family needs, so of course it can be frustrating not to have control over a situation, especially when it involves protecting your family’s wellbeing. Buying an adequate amount of affordable life insurance for yourself, for example, is one of those factors that you, as a military spouse, need the power to do.

Make 2016 the year you stick with your resolutions for longer than a few weeks. It’s pretty easy to set lofty goals and fall short when there is no game plan for tackling them.
