You are married and you and your spouse each live on Social Security. One spouse receives $1,200 per month, the other receives $800. Combined income: $2,000 per month. The house is paid for, but there are still those constant bills like electricity, water, homeowner\u2019s insurance, cell phone, auto insurance, gasoline and food. And if you\u2019re not on Extra Help or a Medicare Savings Program, the copays for prescriptions and certain medical services.<\/p><h2>The Loss of Your Partner<\/h2><p>One of you passes away. The survivor gets the larger of the two checks (the $1,200 one). You may eliminate a few bills (one cell phone if each had a phone and a little less food and water). But on average, the bills will be almost the same while income has been slashed by one third, or $800. This is not a hypothetical, it\u2019s a matter of when.<\/p><p>Through all this, there will be the final expense costs for a funeral, casket, headstone and burial. This is happening every day across America.<\/p><p>If you didn\u2019t buy life insurance by now and you\u2019re retired, it\u2019s too late. Often, when asked about life insurance, the reply many gives is, \u201cI don\u2019t need that right now.\u201d Well, if you needed it RIGHT NOW, you can\u2019t get it. It\u2019s too late. Which is why if you do not have a final expense insurance policy, already, you need to look at it while you don\u2019t need it and you\u2019re in better health, so you can get it at a reasonable premium.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-f6ea478 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-stretched elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"f6ea478\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;stretch_section&quot;:&quot;section-stretched&quot;,&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-9f75d6c\" data-id=\"9f75d6c\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6799a871 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6799a871\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Subscribe to our newsletter and get the <span style=\"color: #dbae1d;\"><strong>FREE<\/strong> <\/span>Medical Information document for streamlined emergencies or hospitalization.<span style=\"color: #dbae1d;\"><strong> A MUST HAVE FOR CARETAKERS!\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>Don&#8217;t let changes take you by surprise!

While you may not need $10,000 to $55,000 for the actual funeral, keep in mind that anything not used for final expenses are the survivor\u2019s to keep \u2013 it\u2019s your benefit.

Let\u2019s say you purchased a $30,000 policy. Final expenses were $7,000. That leaves a balance of $23,000.
