Week 3 — Myth vs. Fact 🤔 LIFE INSURANCE: MYTH vs. FACT Myth: “I’m young and healthy, so I don’t need life insurance yet.” Fact: Life insurance isn’t only about age—it’s about protecting the people who depend on you and preparing for the unexpected. Myth: “Life insurance is only for parents.” Fact: There are many reasons someone without children might consider coverage, including protecting a spouse, covering debts, supporting a business, or planning for future financial needs. Myth: “I already have coverage through work, so I’m all set.” Fact: Employer-sponsored coverage can be an important benefit, but it’s worth understanding how much you have and what happens to that coverage if you change jobs. This September, take a few minutes to understand what you have—and whether it still fits your life. #LifeInsuranceAwarenessMonth #LifeInsurance #FinancialEducation #KnowYourCoverage See thrivent.com/social for important disclosures.
