National Life Insurance Day

National Life Insurance Day occurs every year on May 2^nd, as it marks the anniversary of the first-day life insurance became available in the United States. The observance also brings awareness of the benefits of life insurance.

Life insurance can do some pretty amazing things for people. It can buy loved ones time to grieve. It can also pay off debts and loans, providing surviving family members with the chance to move on with a clean slate. Life insurance allows families to remain in their homes and pre-fund a child’s college education. When families own a business, life insurance will enable them to keep the business in the event of an untimely death. It also provides a stream of income for a family to live on for a period of time.
