LOS ANGELES, Jan. 24, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- This bill and that bill do not take long to add up. That being said, have you thought about where you and your loved ones would be if you suddenly suffered a serious injury, illness or even died? LifeInsuranceAgency.com knows many people are having a tough go of it and wants to help.

With money tight the last few years, more Americans are making adjustments to put additional money in savings, consolidate debt and invest more conservatively. If you've thought that life insurance is something you can skip on, think again.

A recent survey from the non-profit LIFE Foundation reports that 56 percent of Americans claim the economic downturn makes it more important to have a life insurance policy, compared to only 9 percent who feel the need has decreased.

In the event you are having money issues but need or have an interest in life insurance, there are some things to do about it in tough economic times:

1. Shop around and get multiple FREE Life Insurance Quotes. Don't settle on just one insurer and take the first quote you receive. Just like buying a car or other big-ticket item, shop around for the best and most affordable policy.
2. Discuss the matter with an independent insurance agent in your region. An agent can review your financial situation, and then assist you and determine what kind of policy you should opt for, helping you save money along the way.
3. If you are limited in what you can spend, there are options available. You can get a smaller coverage amount to lessen your premium payments. Once your finances improve, you have the option of increasing the coverage amount. On the flip side, consider obtaining a higher life insurance policy. By paying a few extra dollars, the lump sum in the event you die will be thousands of dollars higher and your family will be financially set for many years.
4. If you get a policy, determine the best means to pay for it. If you can pay your rate annually, do it. By paying rates annually, you could save up to 20 percent on premiums.
5. Check to see if your employer offers life insurance as you could get a good rate for coverage. If not, you can consider private life insurance.
