How much life insurance do I need?

It all depends on your state job and how life threatening your job is, I have 400,000 from serving in the army, but I say around 180,000 but again it just depends on your state for taxes and how much you will get from the government. Its completely up to you. If you have kids id go for a larger insurance so when you pass your kids will have a decent amount to cover any debts or expenses.
