Spoke to a customer today, and he said he could not afford life insurance, and assumed that he had more time π€
Here are 7 insights from the interaction:
1. Time makes no announcements in the end, only demands.
2. None of us can foresee our end.
3. Life rarely goes as planned, but preparation paves the way for quicker recovery and rebounds.
4. Life insurance is the foundation of any good financial plan, but its not the entire plan. (i.e. there are many things that should be implemented into a comprehensive financial plan).
5. People who care about their family, legacy, and importance of having certain protections in place don't treat life insurance as a burden; and understand that it is a necessity and not a nuisance.
6. Starting early reduces the costs, while starting late often increases cost, and reduces the level of benefits.
"Procrastination creates delayed rewards, and increased costs."
7. The wording, I can't afford it, is just another way of saying I don't understand the importance of it or I don't care about the repercussions to myself or others.
