It’s
time for us to get serious about life insurance ownership. According
to LIMRA, the industry research group, 30% of American households own
no life insurance whatsoever and a majority of families either have
no life insurance or not nearly enough!
Life
insurance is an amazing property. I’m not talking about the policy
itself, which is a lot of clauses, numbers, and legal jargon. I’m
talking about what that life insurance policy will do when it’s
needed.
Life
insurance can provide loved ones time to grieve without worrying
about money to pay the bills. It can pay off debts or loans,
providing family members the ability to move on with a clean slate.
It can keep families in their homes, and at their current standard of
living. It can provide money for children’s Christmas and birthday
presents as well as tuition and school expenses. It can fund higher
education, therefore providing a great head start in life. Life
insurance can keep a small business in operation, prevent the
necessity of a widow going to work, to try and make ends meet, give
children a full time parent and prevent them from becoming “latch
key kids”.
Life
Insurance also has living value. The cash values of permanent life
insurance can help fund a retirement and provide money for
emergencies or opportunities.
The
policy, itself, is a piece of paper. It rests in a drawer or a safety
deposit box until it is needed. When it is needed, it springs into
action providing cash for all the things mentioned above. A small
premium buys a lot of cash and therefore a lot of security for a
family. For this reason, life insurance has been called the “Miracle
of Pen and Ink”. The premium is a small price to pay for loving
someone and wanting to make sure that he, she, or they are secure!
When is the last time you had your life insurance reviewed? How about
doing it now?? Don’t buy a policy; buy all the things it can do!
Fraternally Yours,
