Seniors pay higher life insurance premiums since their policies are more likely to outlive them. However, since seniors’ beneficiaries are typically financially independent, they can get away with purchasing a low-coverage policy. Only funeral expenses, estate taxes and other expenses must be covered by their policy. For this reason, we set our sample policy coverage lower than other groups at $107K for Moreno Valley seniors.

Insurance companies consider smokers riskier to insure since they are more likely to contract life-threatening diseases. Because of this, smokers tend to pay higher insurance premiums. Fortunately, smokers are still able to purchase cheap life insurance. If you smoke, you might want to consider buying a longer-term policy (20 years) since rates for smokers increase exponentially over time.
