[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess I view this differently than most people, but I still have young children (7 and 4). I'm glad the younger one won't be off to college until I'm 56! That still feels very young to me. My husband and I had our 20's/early 30's to travel, explore and focus on careers, save money, go to grad school, have fun with friends and spend time with our families. We're planning to retire or semi-retire in our mid-50s so that will hopefully be another fun chapter. [b]We both lost a parent as young adults so know that health can change at any moment and are grateful we were able to spend our time as we have so far.[/b] [/quote]

This.

My spouse died when our youngest was a college freshman so I went from empty nester to widow. My plans to retire in my 50s are now scrapped. No plans to travel since it's just me.[/quote]

Sorry for your loss. Everyone should have life insurance until retirement. Lesson for everyone else. [/quote]

life insurance is almost never 'that' much.[/quote]

Term life can be "that" much.  When I became a SAHM, my DH bought term life insurance for himself that would give me more than enough to continue living in the same home, fully fund my kids college and wedding, and never have to work again in life. It included my retirement.  Thankfully, this bought us peace of mind and nothing happened to my DH.  Now he is near retirement with a generous pension and we have long since dropped the term life.
