When you're in your 20s, life insurance probably isn’t high on your list of priorities. You’re focused on building your career, traveling, maybe paying off student loans, and creating your own path in life. But there’s something incredibly powerful about taking this step early—something that’s not about fear or worst-case scenarios but about opportunity, security, and control over your future.
At Cedar River Insurance, we believe life insurance is about life—your future, your freedom, and your family, whether you have one now or will one day down the road.

It’s Not Just About Death—It’s About Your Future Coverage
The truth is, life insurance is easier and more affordable to get when you're young and healthy. Locking in coverage now could mean the difference between being protected for decades to come or facing limited options later.
We often hear:
"But I’m healthy. Why would I need life insurance now?"
Here’s the thing—you’re healthy now. But health isn’t something we can always predict. Unfortunately, many people develop medical conditions in their late 20s or 30s that can make life insurance difficult, expensive, or impossible to obtain.
Real-Life Example: Type 1 Diabetes
Type 1 diabetes doesn’t just appear in childhood. Many are diagnosed later, even into their late 20s or early 30s. Once diagnosed, life insurance options can become limited or unaffordable. Had they gotten coverage before the diagnosis, they would’ve had lifelong protection locked in at a low rate.
Other examples include:
- Autoimmune conditions that can develop seemingly out of nowhere
- Heart conditions or high blood pressure that might emerge in your 30s
- Injuries that lead to long-term disabilities or health complications
- Mental health diagnoses that could complicate your insurance eligibility
Parents: This Message Is for You, Too
If you’re a parent of a young adult between 18 and 30, you know they’re still learning how to navigate the real world. Helping your adult child secure a life insurance policy now is a loving, proactive step. In fact, many parents start a policy for their child and hand it off later when they’re more financially independent.
It’s an investment in their future—one that gives you peace of mind and gives them a financial advantage that can last a lifetime.
Bonus: It’s Cheaper in Your 20s
Life insurance is significantly more affordable when you’re young. A healthy 25-year-old could lock in a policy for pennies on the dollar compared to what it would cost at 40. Over time, that adds up to serious savings—and serious security.
Your Future Self Will Thank You
While it may feel strange to plan for things like life insurance when life is just getting started, it’s one of the smartest moves you can make. It’s not just about protecting others—it’s about protecting your future self and the life you’re building.
