I&#8217;ve sort of put off said expense for a number of years for no reason in particular. That&#8217;s not totally true. I&#8217;m lazy. That is the first an foremost reason. I am too lazy to do the adequate research necessary to make an informed decision about the type of investment I need to make to ensure my loved ones are cared for financially in the event of my untimely demise. I&#8217;m kind of asshole like that.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, I discovered my workplace actually has life insurance that can be purchased which leaves all the decision making to someone other than myself. I thought &#8220;sure. why not?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So my wife and I fill out a few pages of paperwork and that was that. Not so fast my friends. We got feckin&#8217; denied! We&#8217;re 40 and 41 years old. WTF?!<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/giphy.com\/embed\/UvtKiyeWYEhRC\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>So obviously the insurance carrier thinks we&#8217;re a big enough risk to die that they don&#8217;t want any part of our disease ridden asses. I&#8217;m going to go ahead and blame my wife because I&#8217;m in denial, but still, what am I supposed to do as a widower with two kids ages 2 and 9? Huh? Did she ever stop to think about that? Couldn&#8217;t she have the decency to wait until the young one was at least 18? And now with this news from the insurance company, I can&#8217;t even get in on any of that phat dead spouse cash that everyone is raving about.<\/p>\n<p>Getting old sucks.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So I had a real swell conversation this morning with a buddy of mine about purchasing term life insurance.
