Yes, there is typically a limit to the amount of life insurance an individual can purchase based on factors such as their income and overall financial situation. Insurance companies will often assess an applicant's financial needs and eligibility before determining the maximum coverage amount. It's important to evaluate your needs and consult with an insurance agent to determine the appropriate coverage amount for your situation.

Yes, but that limit depends on the underwriters at the company where you're buying the policy. Attempting to purchase an amount of insurance that doesn't match your income or obligations would tend to raise eyebrows in an underwriting department. (10 times your income is probably okay, 100 times your income is probably excessive) If there is a valid reason for the amount of insurance that you want to purchase, you probably won't have any problems.
