Timeless Beauty

Image by Chad Horwedel via Flickr I've been wondering about medical and life insurance for jobs that present an impaired risk to the policy holder. For example, if someone is working as a race car driver, then chances are, he will have to pay higher life insurance rates than ordinary people do. If the driver does not earn big, then it is a bigger chance he won't have any form of insurance at all. In fact, the car he's driving would have been better protected than he is in an accident. The only way around this is for a race card river to work for a company that pays employee benefits, which includes medical and life insurance.

One way to protect your family from risks brought by a death in the family or your death as the breadwinner is to buy a life insurance policy for yourself with your family as beneficiaries.

All you can do is approximate the events based on what happened yesterday, and then plan what to do in case what we fear will happen happens. This uncertainty is the reason why life insurance exists. Life insurance rates are lower when you set your insurance premiums high. Insurance premiums, in turn, increase as more coverage is added into the plan. The more coverage you include in your life insurance plan, the better protected you will be. However, the problem with too much coverage is that you are not sure you will be using them in the future. A benefit of a full coverage life insurance, on one hand, is lesser premiums for home and auto insurance. Life insurance will cover health and medical coverage in case of accidents or home security problems.
