Too Many People Die Without Life Insurance
December 30th, 2009. Published under Life Insurance. No Comments.
I had the type of phone call the other day that you wish you’d never have to take.
A long time client called with the bad news that her husband had passed away following cancer treatment and some surgeries for an injury. There was no life insurance benefit.
I first met this couple nearly five years ago. Life was good for them, they had jobs with group benefits, he was a fire fighter, she was an office manager. I asked them what type of life insurance program they had in place. ” We have life insurance through work, ” they said. ” We don’t need life insurance”.
Fast forward a few years: job changes, cancer treatments, surgeries, umemployment.
A medical discharge from the Fire Department.
Neither had a job and neither had life insurance.
You need to own a life insurance policy because very few people die when they are employed.
We die when we are retired, unemployed, or disabled.
Please plan ahead.
Take care of your family and buy life insurance in 2010.
