A life lived fully but wisely

Nothing inspired you more than a great story isn't it.

It makes you fresh and hopefully give you more wisdom and courage as well.

Take a look at this video:

No one want unfortunate events to happen in their life, but sometimes it just happens and you can't say no to it. You will just have to face it.

To be sick, to die prematurely, to be disabled, to be critically ill, etc,  are never part of anyone's life plans.

Melissa in the video knows that very well. Her husband illness and death is never part of the plan. She and her kids need him. As a husband, as a father, as a provider.

But it just happened, out of nowhere. Fortunately, Greg is a great man. He planned properly and adequately because he loves his family.

Even though he got coverage from his company, he still add more insurance because he knows it won't be enough if something happens to him. He just want to make sure that he provide the best for his family.

It is because he planned, the family are able to:
1. Paid off debts that were accumulated when Greg was ill.
2. Paid off the mortgage, which means she and her kids do not have to sell the house.
3. Set up college funds for their 2 daughters.
4. Have an income replacement and lead a stable life.

Can you imagine if Greg never plan? What will happen to his family?

Can they survive? Yes of course they can survive. That is the basic essence of a human being. But they will survive with lots of hardships, especially financial burden. They will have to sell the house, she will have to find job, she will have to find someone to take care her 2 daughters, she may have to beg from relatives or friends for money, go back to her parents place and use their retirement money, etc.

It's definitely not something that I want my family to go through. What about you?



Cheers! Have a great day.
