I mean, it's certainly one way to do it, but the way you put it so glibly makes it seem more like a political pot-shot than actual advice... | |

| Mar 11, 2010 at 20:16 | comment | added | user296 | Oh, but do have health insurance. Make it a high-deductible (catastrophic) health insurance plan, if necessary, but have some, even if you're a twenty-something healthy nonsmoking male (in which case it'll even be relatively cheap). Don't make me bring up horror stories. | |

Now I have kids, I have much larger term insurance to cover my earnings should I die. My wife is covered also, given that if she were to die (she is at home with kids now), I would need care-givers, etc. | |
