The important things in life….

Tuesday, April 13th, 2010

When Buster lost his job with the USPS, we also lost our life insurance.  It worried me, because we had lost our son in an auto-accident just before that and had we not had life insurance on him, we would have been looking at $10,00 of debt or there-about.  We didn’t have life insurance for several years after that until I found term life insurance through our car/home insurance company.

I cannot tell you how good it feels to know that if something were to happen to one of us, the other or our daughter wouldn’t have to worry about funeral costs, and they can be expensive!!   I even found a whole life insurance plan for my daughter that is good as long as she pays the premium.  Even if she marries and/or gets life insurance of her own, as long as she pays the premium she keeps her coverage, and I think it doubles when she hits 25 years old.

It may seem like a small thing to some, but I think it’s very important!
