How much life insurance is enough?
If you have a family, many experts recommend that you need an amount equal to 10 times your annual salary. However, these ‘experts’ won’t be around to help out your family if they are wrong. Only YOU can determine what you would want your family to have. For this reason, and because life insurance (when purchased carefully) is extremely inexpensive , many people own larger amounts.
