You may not need life insurance at all.

You may have too much or not enough.

Find out.

Here’s how to think about life insurance: You don’t buy life insurance. It’s sold to you. Usually by someone pushy.

𝐏𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐜 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞.

Will anyone come to the funeral? What will be left on your bucket list? Will it be fast or agonizingly slow? Will you have a chance to say goodbye?

𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐛𝐮𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐆𝐫𝐢𝐦 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐚𝐢𝐭.

I get it, you want to keep a low profile and not tempt fate. But you’re worrying about the wrong thing. Fate is too busy to keep track of insurance sales. It’s the greedy living you should be worried about. 🤣

𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐦𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐚 𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐬 𝐚𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐢𝐞.

You’ll be gone. “Not my problem” you bluster. “Let the living cope with the fall out.”

I call B.S.
