Pause for Thought

One of the first things ‘Pup and I did after getting married was look at insurance. For those of you who have been married and have had children, life insurance is probably a given. You have to think about those you’re leaving behind.
People who are single, and have been single a long time and have even come to terms with the fact that they’ll be single for the rest of their lives (that would include ‘Pup and I, btw), come quickly to the realization that big life insurance policies aren’t really meant for them. We had no one for whom it was important to leave anything beyond enough money to make sure last debts and a funeral could be paid for, so our parents wouldn’t be burdened with those things. I always relied on the term life insurance quote my employer provided, and I never looked beyond for anything else.
‘Pup was a little more forward looking, getting a whole life policy, but even he used it for it’s cash value rather than regarding it as a legacy.
Now we have each other, and now…we both have whole life and we both are leaving enough make it easier for whomever is left behind. But both of us hope we never have to.
