There are many reasons to look at purchasing life insurance. First and foremost, life insurance provides a tax-free death benefit to your beneficiary.
Purchasing life insurance is based on the need you are trying to cover. If you have a family with children, then it is a good idea to replace that lost income if you or spouse should die while kids are growing up.
If you have a business with a partner, then it may be a good time to get insurance. Estate planning is a reason to get life insurance.
If you think you might have a need, please consult your broker to review your situation.
The best time to buy life insurance is when you have good health. The rates are lower, and you have more choices, than when a health condition is present. However, many people do not think about their own mortality until they develop a chronic or acute health condition. If that is the case, it is usually a good idea to go ahead and buy a policy, anyway, if you can get an affordable rate.

The short answer is when you are young and in good health. Both are key elements that determine pricing. Consider as well, when you have a financial obligation that needs protecting - a car loan, a mortgage, a business loan etc. as these are all natural moments when the consideration of Life Insurance makes sense.
The typical profile of a life insurance owner is someone who is a family breadwinner and has minimal savings. In other words, has dependents and debt.

Life insurance addresses the problem of a person dyeing too soon. That is if you have people who depend on your income and should you die they would be left in a troubled situation. That is the most basic reason to buy life insurance. And the most basic kind of life insurance is Term, which only addresses that one issue - and that for only a specified term of between 10 and 30 years.
Permanent and specifically Whole Life insurance also addresses the issue of inflation relative to the death benefit and even retirement income should a person live "too long" - that is out live their retirement savings.
