    Life insurance - how much you all got?

    Mines running out soon.....

    Not cheap as you get older. Since pretty much none of us get death in service benefits wondered how much you all pay for?

    It's running out because you didn't expect to live this long when you got it?

    IIRC I've got either 300k or 500k on a policy under my Ltd.

      None. I have no dependents so what do I need it for? I'll be dead

          Yep, same here. Cancelled it after Mrs W passed away.

            750k. Wanted to ensure that as haven't hit 50 yet, there would be enough to easily pay off the mortgage and leave enough for the other half to be comfortable. With one kid still at school, seems pretty responsible... on the other hand, I have little doubt some might say it's a mad amount.

              I don't think so. You have worked out an amount to make sure those that are left aren't worrying about money. Obviously too high an amount and your other half might start googling untraceable means of bumping you off...

                Without knowing your mortgage it doesn't seem daft. Mine was similarly calculated to pay off the mortgage and mean my wife didn't have to work for a year or so. On the other hand she has only a small policy because I'm the main earner and realistically would rather work than mope about.

                  Why not get whole of life cover? Or was it taken to cover a mortgage that has now been paid off?

                    Kind of stupid question really, you are dead, so what is it for? That will determine how much you need to cover and how much you need?

                    To - Enough that all my dependents become millionaires
