Sometimes real life makes you have conversations you weren't expecting to have. If you haven't heard yet, Paul Walker is dead. He's the celebrity that was in the Fast and Furious series of movies. He was 40 years old and was involved in an accident. He was the passenger in the car, and both he and the driver died. After much back and forth on Facebook and Twitter tonight, Paul Walker's publicist confirmed he was dead. The kicker is that there was a hoax earlier this week stating he was dead (and really wasn't at that time), so nobody knew what to believe.
Now, nobody plans on dying when you are 40. Heck, I am a 36, and I don't plan on dying any time soon. My cousin this summer died in his 30s. Another girl I know died at 18 years old this year. You just don't ever know when it's your time to go. As a celebrity, he is probably a lot more set than the rest of us. However, this horrible accident should be a wakeup call for the rest of us to talk to our partners about life insurance.
Even though Bill and I have life insurance policies on ourselves, we still had a talk tonight on this very incident. Nobody plans on dying when they are 40. I think most us of would like to live to 80 or older and plan our lives that way. I just hope they had something in place in case something happened to him since he does have young children. Our personal conversation was more about how I would be in much worse shape than he would if the other one died. At least with our life insurance, the house would pretty much be paid off. For Bill, he would still need daycare to take care of the kids when they aren't in school if something happened to me. For me, a life insurance policy would buy me time to get a job or even move back to Wisconsin if something happened to Bill.
Now, nobody likes talking about death. However, it is a conversation we must all have. Do you have life insurance? Why or why not?
My husband and I both have healthy policies. It is a significant monthly expense, but I have lost two uncles young and know how important it is for the family. I hope we never, ever need them.
We recently did this and we are 33 and 31, but we have 2 kids to think about, too. Expensive but worth it.
LIFE Insurance is must i say. Loss of loved one is traumatic experience.But if your family is additionally left without sufficient cash to help or arrange for future objectives, they will adapt to a fiscal emergency in the same time. A Life Insurance arrange guarantees that your family is monetarily secure regardless of the possibility that tomorrow you are no more around to nurture them.
I am so sad to hear this! This post is very important!
That was really surprising
It’s a difficult discussion to have, but a reality. Insurance is so helpful to those left behind.
Horrible accident!
