The DIME method: working out how much life cover you actually need
Why ten times your salary is a bad answer, how debt and mortgage structure change the number, and matching term length to the obligation.
Refinance break-even: when lowering the payment raises the cost
Three numbers to compare instead of one, and why a five-year term extension can undo a two-point rate cut.
