Jon and Kate Alden are 38 years old and have one son, age 9. Jon is the primary earner, making $140,000 per year. Kate does not currently work. The Aldens have decided to use the needs analysis method to calculate the value of a life insurance policy that would provide for Kate and their son in the event of Jon's death. Jon and Kate estimate that while their son is still living at home, monthly living expenses for Kate and their child will be about $4,000 (in current dollars). After their son leaves for college in 9 years, Kate will need a monthly income of $3,300 until she retires at age 65. The Aldens estimate Kate's living expenses after 65 will only be $2,900 a month. The life expectancy of a woman Kate's age is 87 years, so the Alden family calculates that Kate will spend about 22 years in retirement.
