💡 Today's episode tackles a major financial question many widows face: Do you still need life insurance?

After losing a spouse, many widows receive a life insurance payout—but what about their own policy? Should you keep paying for it, reallocate those funds, or invest in other financial security options? We're breaking down everything you need to consider before making this big decision.
