Why Locking In Your Insurability Matters – Before Life Happens
I realize you’re super healthy. I realize you’re going to be on this planet for another 2000 years. I wish I was the case. Unfortunately, we’re human beings and we do pass on at some point. I hope for all of us there were here as long as we can possibly be. Sometimes the unforeseen happens much sooner than anticipated, and sometimes we get diagnosed with something unexpected.
And when that happens, you know, the main thing we’re worried about is continuing to survive. And typically we do with modern medicine. But what we fail to realize as soon as we are diagnosed with something chronic, it’s very likely that you are no longer going to be insurable for life insurance. So I tell all of my clients, I realize you don’t need a life insurance now because you’re healthy.
Take advantage of your health. Lock in your insure ability today. Submit the application. Put in a bare bones term policy. And that way, when you’re ready to convert that term policy into a permanent contract, you’re going to have the health rating when you were at your healthiest. Very important I can’t stress enough. Lock in your insure ability. Submit an application today.

Why You Should Lock In Life Insurance While You’re Still Healthy
We get it — you’re healthy, thriving, and plan to be on this planet for another 2,000 years. And we hope that’s the case! But as humans, one thing is certain: life is unpredictable. No matter how strong or vibrant we feel today, we can’t always see what’s around the corner.
Sometimes, the unexpected shows up in the form of a diagnosis or health issue that completely alters not just our lifestyle — but our insurability.
The Hidden Cost of Waiting
Here’s something most people don’t realize until it’s too late:
As soon as you’re diagnosed with a chronic illness or serious medical condition, it can dramatically affect your ability to qualify for life insurance — or even make you uninsurable altogether.
And while modern medicine has come a long way in helping people manage and survive major illnesses, insurance companies don’t view your health history the same way your doctor does.
That’s why we always advise:
Take advantage of your good health now.
The Smart Move: Lock in Your Insurability Today
You might be thinking, “But I don’t need life insurance yet.”
And that may be true — for now.
But this isn’t just about need. It’s about locking in your health rating while you’re at your best. Even a basic term policy submitted today acts as a placeholder for the future.
That policy:
- Secures your current health classification
- Locks in lower premiums
- Gives you the option to convert it later into a permanent policy — without having to requalify
In short, it puts you in control of your financial future, even if your health status changes.
What You Can Do Today
If you’re in good health, now is the time to:
✅ Submit a life insurance application
✅ Start with a simple term policy
✅ Preserve your insurability while you’re still at your healthiest
You don’t need to go all-in right away. But giving yourself options later starts by taking small steps today.
Final Thought: Your Health is an Asset — Use It Wisely
Life insurance isn’t for when you’re gone — it’s for the people and dreams you leave behind. Locking in your coverage now could make all the difference for your loved ones, your legacy, and your financial flexibility down the road.
So while you are super healthy — and planning to be for many years to come — take action while it still works in your favor.
