With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, you might be planning to show your love with flowers, jewelry or a romantic dinner. What about a gift that will have an even greater impact such as life insurance?

Consumers often think of life insurance as an optional budget item. In reality, life insurance is really love insurance; by carrying enough insurance, you are safeguarding the future of your loved ones. The #1 reason that people buy life insurance is because they love someone and want to make sure they’d be protected financially if something happened to them. Whatever stage of life you’re in – getting married, expecting a baby, preparing to retire, and everything in between  – protect the ones you love with life insurance.

This February, Neckerman is participating in a campaign called Insure Your Love, which is a national campaign aimed at raising awareness around the importance and power of proper insurance planning. We’re asking a few of our employees, “why did you buy life insurance?” Click on the images below to read their reasons for purchasing life insurance.
