You've hit your forties, your children are in college, you still have a sizable mortgage on the house, and you are concerned that if you pass away your spouse cannot pay for the kids education and the mortgage on her/his own. Being between 40 and 49 years of age is still a good time to get affordable rates on life insurance.
This is when life insurance comes into play. Getting insurance coverage now will guarantee that your children and spouse will be taken care off in case of your death. Their college education will be paid for and the mortgage on your house will be taken care off.
Life insurance rates are at all time lows, and being in your forties, getting the best 20 year policy is very affordable and easy - see pricing tables below.
