A new survey we did asked people what they planned to leave their loved ones if they were to pass away tomorrow, and more respondents said they would leave behind family photos (54%) than money from a life insurance policy (49%) for their loved ones.

So while we all value the memories that a photo brings us, it’s important to realize if there is no money for a family to survive on after the death of a breadwinner, it’s going to be really hard to make new memories that are worth capturing in a photo.

Here is more of what we found.
