Life insurance v Income

Al_Mac

Is there a rough percentage of how much it should cost. Ours is currently about 10%. Was about 5% when I had a job.

Does this seem fair?

No there isn't a % because it depends on a number of factors, a big one being age.

Are you significantly older than when you had a job?
Have you shopped around?

It sounds like a lot.
How much have you go any why?
