Don't you think you should enough life insurance to cover the mortgage kids tuition and maybe a few years salary for your spouse??
2nd follow Dave Ramsey’s advice. Term life. Not universal life.
Actually, the firm life insurance is group life insurance. If you quit you don’t have it anymore. It’s not the same thing as term, where you buy insurance for a certain number of years as long as you keep paying the premiums. You can buy term or whole/universal life on your own.
In. For the cost of 10x salary, why not make sure your family is covered? Took Dave ramsey's advice.
For life insurance I took my salary times how long my youngest reaches 18 and that is what I insured for

There are two forms of group term insurance. 1 is paid for by the firm. The second is optional supplemental that you can purchase. This supplemental insurance is still term insurance. The term is annual (unless you qualify to have a change in benefits or you quit or get fired). If you don’t meet those exceptions then you are required to pay that premium over the term ask a year.
Use your group benefits as they are cheaper. You will need more insurance, so the AICPA does have cheap rates. If you still need additional coverage after that, you can fill gaps with more term insurance. I use group policy for 2x salary that is free. Got $1M through AICPA which you can get without underwriting. Then went private above that.
Out. Kids are currently 1 and four. We are mid thirties.
The firm life insurance is term life insurance. For those that don’t understand what this means, if you stop working you don’t have life insurance coverage anymore and the premiums you paid are gone. If you go out on your own and get whole life insurance you always have it no matter what regardless of work situation and if you decide you want out of it you will get a return of premium. Unless you’re fresh out of college (even then smarter play is whole life insurance while you are younger for the best rate) the only smart way to go about it is to opt out of the firm term life insurance and use that money to get whole life insurance
Use the AICPA insurance. It’s really cheap for the coverage you get
The issue with AICPA is that you need to be a member, so if 10 years down the line you you go to private and drop membership you're on your own and life insurance only gets more expensive as you get older.
My wife and I have 30 year term life insurance. We had 1MM each, she pays under $600 a year and I recently increased mine to 2MM for $1,400 a year. These rates are locked in for 30 years, I'm 33 so I'll be in my sixties and still have 2MM coverage for $1,400 a year.
Group insurance can be very cheap through the firm but if you leave you lose it
So if you are leaving make sure to line up new term in their interim
Another strategy is to buy term every 5 years as your income and family grows so that your coverage increases and if you have a health issue you are covered - that is laddering up every 5 years with a 10 or 20 year policy
