Is Life Insurance Really Worth It?

I've been thinking about life insurance lately and can't decide if it's something I should seriously consider. I've heard mixed opinions from friends and family—some say it's a must-have, while others think it's a waste of money if you don’t have dependents.

I don't have kids yet, but I do have a partner and some debt. I want to make sure they’d be okay if something happened to me, but I'm also wary of the cost and all the fine print. Has anyone here gone through this process or had a claim? I’d love to hear your thoughts! Is it worth the investment, or is it just one of those things that sounds good in theory but isn’t practical for everyone?
