Life Insurance - How young were you?Hey

[Monorail]

Hey guys,
I am gonna get a life insurance policy next week. The reason for this is that in the past three months two of my mates have passed away (We're only 17) . so my question is, How old were you when you first got life insurance?
Policy is gonna be paying the funeral bill and then a bunch of charities as I have no dependents. (Not that I have any plans on leaving soon)

Only for dependents....so if you haven't got any why bother?
Open up a savings account instead.
I had one only when I was bringing up 3 kids/mortgage etc.
Kids and mortgage are gone, so life insurance is gone to...no point tempting the old girl...:msn-wink:

Got mine when I got my house and mortgage, so my partner could keep it if the worst happened.

If it's just for funeral costs, it can't cost much each month can it?

I'm guessing he'd prefer only the fees.
