New Beginnings:
Life Insurance for Young Families
Your family is growing. Your home is your sanctuary. Make sure they're both protected—no matter what storms come.

You've Built Something Beautiful
You've worked so hard to get here. The home. The growing family. The weekend hikes through the redwoods. The Sunday mornings at the farmers market.
But late at night, there's that quiet worry: What happens to them if something happens to me?
You shouldn't have to choose between today's budget and tomorrow's security.
Imagine This Instead
Your mortgage is covered. Your kids' education is funded. Your spouse doesn't have to choose between grieving and paying bills.
You sleep soundly knowing that no matter what—illness, accident, or unexpected loss—your family stays in the home you built together.
That's the transformation affordable life insurance creates. Not fear. Peace.

Common Questions from Young Families
How much life insurance do young families in Sonoma Valley really need?
Most financial advisors recommend 10-12 times your annual income, plus your mortgage balance, plus $50K-$100K per child for education. For a Sonoma family earning $100K with a $500K mortgage and 2 kids, that's typically $1.6M-$2.2M in coverage. The good news? Term life insurance makes this surprisingly affordable at $80-$150/month for healthy parents in their 30s.
What's the difference between mortgage protection insurance and regular term life insurance?
Mortgage protection insurance is designed specifically to pay off your home loan if you pass away, keeping your family in the house. Regular term life insurance offers broader coverage—it can cover your mortgage plus living expenses, education costs, and other needs. For young families, we often recommend a combination: enough coverage to pay the mortgage and replace 5-10 years of income.
Should both parents have life insurance, or just the primary earner?
Both parents should have coverage—even if one stays home. Why? A stay-at-home parent provides childcare, household management, and family support worth $40K-$60K per year if you had to hire help. If something happens to the stay-at-home parent, the working parent may need to reduce hours or pay for childcare. We typically recommend the primary earner have more coverage, but both parents need protection.
How affordable is life insurance for young families on a budget?
Very affordable! A healthy 30-year-old can get $500K in 20-year term life coverage for around $30-$40/month. That's less than most families spend on streaming services. A 35-year-old getting $1 million in coverage typically pays $60-$80/month. When you're young and healthy, life insurance is at its most affordable—and most important for growing families.
What happens if I develop health issues later—should I buy now or wait?
Buy now while you're healthy! Life insurance premiums are based on your age and health at the time you apply. If you develop health issues later—diabetes, high blood pressure, even pregnancy complications—you'll pay significantly more or may be denied coverage. Locking in coverage while you're young and healthy protects your family and saves thousands over the life of the policy.
