How is your value of your life? Most of the time how much you value your life or how much you think your life is worth can be shown by how much life insurance have you had or bought. Everyday you go to work to earn money. Your ability to earn money is your asset. Money is a necessity of life. Without money, life is impossible. Life is fragile. Accidents and illness can happen anytime. What happen if one day, you cannot earn money any more?
If you have a hen which lays golden eggs everyday. Do you want anything to happen to the hen? The hen is your asset. In order to protect this asset of yours, you need to treasure it. You need to protect it. How? On your part, you have to take care of it, feed it with good food, maintain its good health by looking after its hygiene, make sure that it is not stolen and so on. But no matter how much you take care of it, still the hen will face some kind of unavoidable risk at some time or another. Then you would think of insuring the hen. Let the life insurance take over the risk management for you. In this way, the farmer can have a peace of mind, knowing that even if the hen dies finally one day, he is going to be compensated, for how much he had insured for the hen.
Similarly, in life, we are our own assets. Our life is our greatest asset. Without our life, nothing is possible. Dying is easy. You don’t have to suffer the pains of illness, the financial strains of paying huge sum of money for medical consultation if you die. However, most of the time, you only die after you suffer illnesses. When illness strike, you cannot work. You have to take rest and be looked after by someone else. Your earning potential will be gone. Where are you going to find money to support your life later on? Use your saving? How long will your saving last?
