We're doing this for our Children

It's not easy to be parents.

Barbie and I are blessed to have a wonderful daughter and, at this time of writing, we have another one coming out six months from now. But we had a lot to change and adjust especially in managing time and money.

Growing expenses

If you're a parent, you know the drill: Fewer sleeping hours, less eat-outs, reduced time for personal interests, and an ever-changing budget for food, clothing, health, household bills, etc., etc.

Expenses simply grow and grow until kids graduate from school, find a decent job, and learn to stand on their own. In some cases, parents of children with special needs have to fulfill their parenting roles for longer periods or even for a lifetime.

Regardless of circumstances, though, responsible and loving parents will say: We're doing this for them.

Life insurance and faith in God

We love our children and we'll do our best to give them a better future. And that's one reason why my wife and I decided to get our own insurance policies. We cannot dictate the span of years God has allotted for us on earth. The best we can do is prepare for the future.

Don't get me wrong. Getting an insurance policy does not mean we don't trust God anymore. We do. We believe that everything we have comes from Him and belongs to Him.

We are just stewards of resources He entrusts to us every day. And that includes setting aside money He provides so that we can prepare for the most unexpected and undesirable situation, for any family, yet unavoidable event for every person: Death.

What story do you want?

Friends, life insurance is the only financial product available in the market which can provide your family the money they need when they need it the most. Make it a priority. You might have plans to send your children to the best universities or prepare a family business for them to manage when they're old enough.

But what if, just what if, along the way, you're taken out of the picture? Sadly, many parents do not prepare for death. Many avoid the topic. But whether we like it or not,

"the probability of every parent dying in the future is 100 percent. We just have different time schedules."

This sad story has happened to many families already. The father works hard to provide for his family's needs and all of a sudden he dies in a car accident on the way to work, leaving his housewife with two little kids, very little savings, and no money to pay for his burial. Will this be your family's story when you die? But should this be your family story? What kind of story do you want your family to start from after you die?

Do it for them

Life insurance can never compensate for a lost life. It cannot diminish the pain of death. But it can definitely reduce the hardship of a grieving family because it can cover the financial costs of death and help them move on in life.

It's hard to fulfill this commitment though. We need to remove many liabilities and cut down expenses just to free up money for quarterly premiums until we finish our 10-year paying periods. . But it's worth it. It's for our children. Temporary hardship is nothing compared to a lifetime of regret.

We're doing this for them.
