In today’s rapidly changing world, the only constant is uncertainty. From global economic volatility and public health crises to climate-related disasters and geopolitical tensions, modern life is fraught with challenges that can impact our financial stability and, most importantly, the well-being of our families. In the face of these complexities, planning for the future isn't just a prudent choice—it's an act of love and responsibility. This is where the promise of American Family Insurance Life Insurance comes into sharp focus. It’s not merely a policy; it's a foundational pillar for your family's financial security, designed to protect your loved ones from life’s unforeseen events.
The conversations around the dinner table have changed. We’re no longer just discussing homework and weekend plans; we’re navigating discussions about remote work, inflation, and saving for college amidst rising costs. The need for a solid financial safety net has never been more acute.
Inflation is a pressing concern for households across America. The cost of groceries, housing, healthcare, and education continues to climb, putting immense pressure on family budgets. Many families are also managing significant debt—mortgages, car loans, student loans, and credit card balances. A primary income earner’s sudden absence could be catastrophic, leaving loved ones not only grieving but also struggling under the weight of financial obligations they cannot meet. Life insurance provides a tax-free benefit that can cover these debts, ensuring your family can stay in their home and maintain their standard of living.
The COVID-19 pandemic was a stark, global reminder of our collective vulnerability. It forced millions of families to confront difficult questions about mortality and preparedness. Many realized, perhaps for the first time, that having a plan in place is critical. Life insurance became a tangible way to address the "what if" scenario, offering peace of mind that medical bills, final expenses, and ongoing living costs would not become an additional burden during an already devastating time.
The increasing frequency and severity of wildfires, hurricanes, and floods have made certain areas more risky to live in, often affecting insurance landscapes across the board. While this directly impacts property insurance, it also underscores the broader need for comprehensive financial preparedness. Securing a life insurance policy is a stable step you can take, independent of environmental factors, to ensure your family’s future is protected against all forms of disaster.
Choosing a life insurance provider is a deeply personal decision. It requires trust, and American Family Insurance (AmFam) has built a reputation on being a reliable partner to families for generations.

American Family Insurance offers a range of life insurance products to fit different needs, budgets, and stages of life. Understanding these options is key to making the right choice for your family.
Term life insurance is often the go-to choice for young families and those seeking maximum coverage for a lower initial premium. You select a coverage amount and a term length—such as 10, 20, or 30 years. This policy is designed to provide a financial safety net during your most critical years, such as while you’re raising children or paying off a mortgage. If you pass away during the term, your beneficiaries receive the death benefit. It’s pure, simple protection that aligns with a specific period of financial vulnerability.
Whole life insurance is a form of permanent life insurance that provides coverage for your entire lifetime, as long as premiums are paid. A portion of your premium goes toward the death benefit, while another portion builds cash value on a tax-deferred basis. This cash value can be borrowed against or withdrawn for emergencies, opportunities, or retirement income. It’s a powerful tool for long-term financial planning, offering both protection and a way to build wealth over time.
Universal life insurance is another type of permanent coverage that offers more flexibility than whole life. You may have the ability to adjust your premium payments and death benefit amount as your financial situation changes. This can be incredibly useful for business owners or those with fluctuating incomes. Like whole life, it also includes a cash value component that earns interest.
While the primary purpose of life insurance is to provide for your loved ones after you’re gone, many of American Family’s policies offer "living benefits," also known as accelerated death benefits. These riders allow you to access a portion of your death benefit while you are still alive under specific circumstances, such as:
These features transform a life insurance policy from a safety net for your family into a powerful financial resource for you during your own lifetime.
