The Tricks And Treats Of Insurance

Insurance can be equated to a horror movie to many of us, as we never know what’s lurking around the corner in the haunted house of life. While we hope to get out safely, we don’t know if Jason, Freddy or Pennywise is around the corner; waiting to catch us off guard. Unfortunately, what happens to many people, is they run through this haunted house frantically trying to evade the monsters who want to harm us. These monsters are cancer, death of a loved one, disability, and the worst, in my opinion – a critically ill child.

While running through the haunted house of life, frantically does work for some people, it’s not a practical solution to fighting off these monsters. No, you don’t need a knife, hatchet or chainsaw; what you need is insurance. Now imagine you’re trapped in this haunted house with another person named Georgie. Georgie confidently claims, “I have insurance through work, I’m covered three times my salary if I pass away; these monsters can’t hurt me!”

Wrong Georgie, let’s break this down to make it a little easier to see why Pennywise grins from ear to ear when he hears someone say this. Georgie makes $50,000 a year if he passes away his spouse gets $150,000. While this amount is enough to cover three years without him; what about the other years he would have been alive? Does Georgie have children? If so, he will need much more than three years of coverage to ensure his family’s needs are taken care of.

If Georgie was to take a Term 20 policy for $500,000; he would be able to have 10 years of his salary paid upon the time of his death, add the three years he gets paid from work – that’s 13 years of his lost salary wages his spouse will have to ensure his family can safely navigate through the haunted house of life without Georgie.
