Here’s How to Get Life Insurance for $5/Month With No Medical Exams or Blood Tests

Maybe you’ve thought about getting life insurance, but it seems like an intimidating, time-consuming and expensive process.

Just tune out all the noise and focus on one fact you should know: It probably won’t take as long — or cost as much — as you think.

Check out this stat: Nearly half of millennials overestimate the cost of life insurance by about five times the actual amount, according to a 2018 Life Insurance and Market Research Association study.

The fact is term life insurance policies start at under $5 per month with no medical exams or blood tests if you get one through a company called Bestow. That costs less than a venti caramel Frappuccino at Starbucks.

And if you’re looking to get a lot of life insurance, you should know that $1 million worth of coverage can cost as little as $1 per day.

That’s the price a healthy 32-year-old woman would pay. Even if you’re not a healthy 32-year-old woman, you might be surprised by how low your premiums are.
