- Help provide for your family’s loss of income
- Cover short-term debts, such as credit card balances, personal debts, etc.
- Financially help your spouse during the child-raising years
- Help your family to pay off a mortgage
- If you purchase term life insurance for the purposes to cover your mortgage, in case you die, your spouse can pay off your mortgage leaving herself and your heirs with a home unencumbered by a mortgage.

- Start up a family business
