Dmitri and Frances Ivanov have completed Step 1 of their needs analysis worksheet and determined that they need $2,418,000 to maintain the projected lifestyle of Frances (age 41) and their two children (ages 7 and 11) in the event of Dmitri’s (the primary earner’s) death. The Ivanovs also have certain financial resources available after Dmitri’s death, however, so their life insurance needs are lower than this amount. If Dmitri dies, Frances will be eligible to receive Social Security survivors’ benefits—approximately $3,500 a month ($42,000 a year) until the youngest child graduates from high school in 9 years. After the children leave home, Frances will be able to work full-time and earn an estimated $52,000 a year (after taxes) until she retires at age 65. After Frances turns 65, she’ll receive approximately $3,100 a month ($37,200 a year) from her own Social Security and retirement benefits. The life expectancy for a woman within Frances’s demographic is 87. The couple has also saved $60,000 in a mutual fund, and Dmitri’s employer provides him a $100,000 life insurance policy.
