I’m young, single, and healthy, but I just bought $300,000 of life insurance and it was a no-brainer
When you're young, single and healthy, life insurance is probably the furthest thing from your mind. After all, you're in the prime of your life and have other expenses to think about. You're saving for retirement, a home, or investing for your future. Putting funds towards an event that is statistically unlikely to happen in the immediate future sounds like a waste of money. At least that's what I thought. The importance of having life insurance didn't hit home until I lost two younger family members within the same year. Both passings were unexpected and a complete shock. These were two perfectly healthy young men in their early 20s. Friends and family pitched in to cover funeral expenses, which provided the families one less thing to worry about during difficult times. Nothing makes up for the loss of a loved one, but the removal of that financial stress allows grieving families some reprieve. Their deaths made me realize life insurance is a no-brainer These events got me thinking about how absurd my invincibility…
