However, the amount should be reasonable in relation to the income earned by that spouse and what household expenses would be incurred if the spouse died. The deceased in this case did not earn much money; $250,000 for daycare for one child seems excessive, and may not even be needed if the survivng spouse earns a good living. Also, you missed the point that the amount on each spouse in this case was EQUAL. Surely, a surviving spouse without much income potential would be far worse off financiallly than the high earner spouse would be in the event of an untimely death. >>>> >>>>It could be that the insurance agent was just lazy and only cared about >>>>the nice commission that a whole life policy (the type of life insurance >>>>the Petersons had )would generate, and thus didn't offer them much >>>>advice on coverage levels for each spouse.
