Buying Insurance
By Jeff Lakie
Insurance is one of the most unpleasant purchases that we have to
make - it takes its place amongst those few things we buy that we
hope we will never actually have to use. Many people, in fact, use this
hope to argue against purchasing insurance in the first place - and while
the chances are that we might never need it, this is one of those times
in life when it is better to be safe than sorry.
As the expense of daily life continually mount, it can be easier to see
the non-immediate need for insurance as illusory. I'm not sick now, am
I? My house is fine - it doesn't look like tornado weather out there
today. That will never happen to me - I'm not wasting all my hard
earned money protecting against something that might never happen!
Those insurance companies don't need any more money.
Unfortunately, this confidence is misplaced, as even the most
intellectual of scholars cannot predict which one of us will fall victim to
cancer, or which one of us will lose our home or job. The 'it-won't-
happen-to-me' philosophy does work for many people, but common
chance takes care of that. Do you want to be the one with mud on
your face when that diagnosis comes and you without the money to
save your own life? It is important to understand this - that choosing
insurance is a choice between life or death.
There is no doubt that the money we pay into our insurance each
month could bring us pleasure in far more immediate ways, but in all
honesty, is the amount we pay monthly all that much? Spend it today
on something fleeting, and you will never remember where it went, but
choose to place your hard earned money in an insurance plan and it
will be one small ray of life if tragedy strikes. Because really, if
diagnosed with cancer today, which would you rather have? Somehow
that night on the town pales into insignificance. Don't take a chance -
choose insurance.
