Most people buy life insurance once and never think about it again. But by the time you reach your 50s, the real question isn’t just what type you have, it’s whether you still need it at all. As your financial picture evolves, so should your approach to protection, coverage, and long-term planning. Today, Scott breaks down breaks down term, whole, and universal life insurance, and more importantly, how to think about them at this stage of life.

Here’s what we cover in this episode:

🎯 Life Insurance Needs: Your 50s bring a completely different set of priorities

🧩 Understanding Coverage: Start with the problem you’re solving—not the product

🏠 Whole Life Basics: Permanent coverage with specific, limited use cases

🔄 Universal Life: Flexible, but requires ongoing management

💰 Cash Value Reality: Not always the best place for growth

🔍 Review Matters: Most issues come from never revisiting your policy
