ILO asked:


I thought life insurance policies were for the remaining family members after a person’s death. For instance, the main worker in the family should get a life insurance policy to ensure their spouse and children have enough money if somethign were to happen.

Now since children do not contribuite to a household income. Why would there be life insurance? Besides the funeral costs, their death would not impact a family financially, would it? I just saw a commercial for one, and it got me wondering. I am only 16, so no rude comments if I have the point of life insurance all wrong here.
