I had an interesting conversation today with parents who questioned the rationale behind purchasing life insurance for your children or encouraging young adults (18-25) to consider life insurance for themselves. When considering whether to buy life insurance for children, it's essential to look beyond the immediate necessity and consider the long-term benefits and security it provides. Here are several key points to address the question, "Why should I buy life insurance for my children?" Financial Security and Future Insurability Life insurance for children guarantees their insurability in the future. By securing a policy now, you lock in coverage regardless of any health issues that may arise later in life. This is particularly important if there are hereditary health concerns or a family history of medical conditions that could make obtaining insurance more difficult or expensive in adulthood.

Throughout my 54 years on the planet, during the times I'm most satisfied with my life, I'm conscientiously reading, reflecting, studying, meditating, and practicing daily study time. This has ALWAYS been true. When I fail to maintain the behaviors that I know to be healthy...my quality-of-life declines. ALWAYS. This truth has nothing to do with personal happiness, professional success or wealth. It's ALL about my brain and what I choose to think about. This morning, I reviewed Paul Churchill's thoughts about EGO. So true...How is your ego? Is it healthy or unhealthy? More importantly, what will you do today to help it move to a healthier place? A healthy ego can look something like this: The ability to admit that you're wrong Knowing the source of happiness is internal and not external Allowing arguments to unfold without having the last word Not leaping to defend yourself if you are criticized or insulted Recognizing that offensive remarks made towards you don...

Work-based life insurance is a convenient benefit provided by many employers, relying solely on it can pose significant risks. One of the primary dangers is the lack of portability. If you change jobs, retire, or are unexpectedly laid off, your coverage typically ends, leaving you and your loved ones unprotected during these transitions. Work-based policies often offer limited coverage. Employer-provided plans usually provide a basic level of insurance, often equal to one or two times your annual salary. This amount might be insufficient to meet your family’s long-term financial needs, such as paying off a mortgage, funding children's education, or replacing your income for an extended period. Moreover, the coverage terms of work-based insurance can be subject to change at the employer's discretion. Companies can alter or terminate their group life insurance benefits, leaving employees with reduced or no coverage at a critical time. In contrast, personally owned life insurance ...

Delaying the purchase of personal life insurance can carry significant risks, primarily the danger of becoming "non-insurable." This term refers to a situation where an individual can no longer qualify for life insurance due to health issues or other factors. Here’s why it's crucial to act sooner rather than later: 1. Health Changes: As time passes, the likelihood of developing health conditions increases. Conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, cancer, or even less severe ailments can make it difficult or impossible to qualify for life insurance. Even if you do qualify, these conditions can lead to much higher premiums, making insurance less affordable. 2. Age Factor: Insurance premiums are largely based on age. The younger you are when you purchase a policy, the lower your premiums will be. Waiting means you will inevitably face higher costs as insurers factor in the increased risk that comes with age. 3. Job and Lifestyle Changes: Life circumstances can change unpr...

In this fast-paced world, it's easy to become entangled in the web of past regrets and future anxieties. However, there is profound power in embracing the present moment, living each day with intentionality, and letting go of the past. By focusing on the now, we can unlock our full potential and take decisive steps towards our goals, ultimately fulfilling our life's mission. Living in the now enables us to break free from the shackles of past disappointments. Dwelling on our shortcomings can drain our energy and distract us from the opportunities that lie ahead. While it’s important to acknowledge our past mistakes and learn from them, it's equally crucial to move forward without being weighed down by them. Celebrating our successes is vital, but spending too much time reminiscing can prevent us from achieving even greater things. By focusing on today, we can channel our energy into productive actions that propel us towards our future aspirations. The practice of present-mi...
