When it comes to life insurance, one of the most common questions we hear at McCann Insurance is: “Is there a best time of year to buy?”

The truth is, there isn’t a “Black Friday” or “once-a-year sale” for life insurance. Premiums aren’t tied to the seasons the way holiday shopping or car sales are. Instead, the best time to shop for life insurance is tied to your age, health, and personal circumstances, and the earlier, the better.

Why Sooner Is Almost Always Better

Life insurance rates are largely based on two things you can’t control later: your age and your health at the time of application. The younger and healthier you are, the lower your premiums will be, and those rates are typically locked in for the life of the policy.

If you wait until you’re older, or until after you’ve developed health issues, you could end up paying significantly more, or in some cases, being declined for coverage altogether.

This is why the “best time” is often right now, especially if you’re in good health.

Life Events That Should Trigger Shopping for Life Insurance

While there’s no seasonal sale, certain life events should be your signal to start looking:

• Getting married
• Buying a home
• Having a child
• Starting a new job
• Taking on significant debt
• Starting a business

Each of these milestones increases your financial responsibilities—and life insurance is one of the best ways to protect the people who depend on you financially.
