Default Re: life insurance how much does one person need??

Snoopy,

If your DH won't be able to work or work much less hours then you should figure in a term policy based on 10x his income minimum. The idea is the surviving spouse will be able to be a stay at home parent and live off the insurance if need be. In your case I would think a 20 yr term policy would be the best so that your youngest is 22 when it expires and hopefully done with college expenses.
