Benefits of buying insurances are not only to provide protection, but also to eliminate dependency. Here is an excellent chart on consumer price changes in past 20 years. The biggest jump was in healthcare and education, and was significantly higher than 55.6% increase in CPI. Nobody knows how high healthcare and education costs will go in next 20 years. But buying long-term care (LTC) insurance is a way to hedge them for both the senior and the younger because 70% of people age 65 and up will need long-term health care (the Wall Street Journal, 2006), and LTC insurance covers LTC costs and reduces burden potentially on your child(ren).


Life insurance provides financial security to family and pass wealth to your loved ones with tax-free feature. Some life insurance products have floor to protect investment from any stock market lose and have good upside (or uncapped) potential. When buying a life insurance, be very careful on keyword "guaranteed" and the purpose & cost of each rider.
