What is meant by life insurance?
I want to understand life insurance better. Can someone explain what life insurance actually means, how it works, and why people buy it? I’d also like to know the different purposes it serves, such as income replacement, debt coverage, or savings, and any real-life examples of how it has helped families or individuals.

Hey Jenna Paige here you are.
Life insurance is basically a financial safety net for the people you leave behind. It’s a contract where you pay regular premiums to an insurance company, and if you pass away while the policy is active, the company pays out a lump sum to your chosen beneficiaries.
The main purpose of life insurance is to help cover things like everyday living expenses, rent or mortgage payments, debts, funeral costs, and even future needs like kids’ education. It’s meant to reduce the financial stress on your family during an already difficult time.
There are different types of life insurance, but they all work around the same idea: you pay in while you’re alive, and your loved ones receive financial support if something happens to you. Some policies last for a set number of years, while others can last your entire life.
For a lot of people, life insurance isn’t about getting rich — it’s about peace of mind. Knowing that your family won’t be left struggling financially if you’re no longer around is the real value.
