Even at a young age, you can have financial liabilities, future obligations and your earning power to protect, i.e. your income throughout your working life. And you may want to use cash value insurance if you have a desire to save money in a tax advantaged way. It's never about age. It's about financial responsibility.Answered on September 14, 2013flag this answer

Older people often have more resources saved up, while life insurance may be the only way a younger person can take care of financial obligations. Life insurance is usually very low cost at that age, and you can lock in rates for 30 years or more. So getting life insurance at age 24 is a good for that reason, as well.Answered on September 14, 2013flag this answer
