Life insurance for a spouse or children
Generally, that should not be done in lieu of buying appropriate amounts of life insurance on the family breadwinner(s). It is extremely important that you protect the earning capacity of the primary breadwinner, if possible, with the right amount of life insurance before considering life insurance on children or spouse. In a dual-income household, it is important to protect the earning capacity of both spouses. Life insurance for a non-wage earning spouse is often recommended for help in paying for household services lost if that spouse dies.
