Undying Legacy

By Zalman Polott, PhD

Achieving a financial goal is never usually focused strictly on yourself - it also includes family. Many believe term life insurance will provide such security within a lifetime but sadly, that rarely occurs. True guarantees for a death benefit lie in a whole life insurance policy.

We are all mortal. This is a sad thought. Great achievements, however, allow a few people to reach immortality. The most we can hope for is to be remembered. People die twice. The first time physically, but we die a second time when we are no longer thought of. You can forestall that second death. There's something we can do to ensure that we'll be remembered by our loved ones.

One of the surest and simplest ways is to buy life insurance for our children and grandchildren. Often the check comes at a critical time in a beneficiary's life. Do you think you will be forgotten by a son or daughter, a grandson or granddaughter, when that policy meant so much? No, your name will always be spoken of with grateful fondness. It's a legacy to be proud of.
