For many people, life insurance falls into the “I’ll deal with it later” category. According to local financial professional Leslie Cowdrey, that mindset is one of the biggest misconceptions she encounters.
Cowdrey recently shared several myths she regularly hears from clients, including the belief that life insurance is only necessary for older adults, parents, or those with health concerns.
She notes that younger, healthier individuals often qualify for the most affordable coverage, while waiting can lead to higher costs or fewer options if health circumstances change. Another common misunderstanding is that employer-provided coverage is enough. While workplace benefits can be valuable, they often don’t move with employees when jobs change.
Cowdrey also points out that many people overestimate the cost of life insurance, saying coverage can be more affordable than many expect.
Perhaps the biggest takeaway is that life insurance is not simply about the policyholder. It’s about protecting loved ones, covering final expenses, managing debts, and supporting the people and causes that matter most.

While life insurance may not be a favorite topic of conversation, Cowdrey believes having the conversation sooner rather than later can make all the difference.
