My partner isn’t earning, how much cover do I need on them?

Most women are under insured. If your partner were looking after house, home and children, how would you cope without her? Putting aside the emotional impact, you would now have to contemplate two roles, that of mother and provider. Perhaps contemplating the annual cost of a child minder could be a good place to start.

    Life insurance is a benifits policy rather than one based on indemnity. You can purchase as much or as little as you like. Only you can make that decision.

    Also, it was my understanding you could not advertise on these boards or in signatures? I am sure someone will advise.
    Edit, ah yes.
