You may be right comparing 50K to 15K. That is, if one was going to go with 15K he/she may just as well go with 50K. However, if one wanted a simpler policy, just for burial expense, you can get a lower-priced alternative with coverage around 5K.

Thanks for the good point.

I must say, all things considered, I would not recommend life insurance to someone single, healthy, and in their 20s.
