[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here…thanks for these replies. Whats the best thing to do financially in this situation, then? Do we increase our savings in some way to mitigate risk to my husband and kids (ages 10 and 12)? [/quote] Yes. I'm younger than you and I don't have life insurance because: (1) I've saved over $600k between 2 kids in 529 plans, (2) I have 7-figures in my retirement account that would go to DH, (3) I also have a brokerage account with a nice sum, (4) DH earns enough to cover all household expenses without me, and (5) they would also get my social security survivor benefits. I feel like life insurance is unnecessary. So, I would amp up savings, but I wouldn't go extreme. As a cancer survivor, you probably understand better than most that life is short and you should make the most of the time you have. [/quote]
