3. Determine how much life insurance you really need - Don't buy more life insurance than you need.

4. Buy life insurance while you are young and healthy - Rates are lower the longer your life expectancy.

5. Prepare for your life insurance medical exam - Choose a time of day when you are most relaxed, don't drink alcohol or caffeine the day of your exam.

6. Pay your life insurance premium annually instead of monthly - There may be a fee added to your premium to cover the cost of processing multiple payments each year.

7. Get Healthy - Quit smoking, exercise, lose weight, lower your cholesterol, etc. - The healthier you are, the longer you are expected to live, and the lower your life insurance premium.
