I'm young, single, and healthy, but I just bought $300,000 of life insurance and it was a no-brainer

Realizing that my own death could create a financial burden for my family members made it clear to me that life insurance is a no-brainer.

I’m young, single, and healthy, but I just bought $300,000 of life insurance and it was a no-brainer

When you're young, single and healthy, life insurance is probably the furthest thing from your mind. After all, you're in the prime of your life and have other expenses to think about. You're saving for retirement, a home, or investing for your future. Putting funds towards an event that is statistically unlikely to happen in the immediate future sounds like a waste of money. At least that's what I thought. The importance of having life insurance didn't hit home until I lost two younger family members within the same year. Both passings were unexpected and a complete shock. These were two perfectly healthy young men in their early 20s. Friends and family pitched in to cover funeral expenses, which provided the families one less thing to worry about during difficult times. Nothing makes up for the loss of a loved one, but the removal of that financial stress allows grieving families some reprieve. Their deaths made me realize life insurance is a no-brainer These events got me thinking about how absurd my invincibility…

DUP accuses Boris Johnson of breaking his word on union commitment

Boris Johnson has been accused of breaking his word over his commitment to protect the union between Great Britain and Northern Ireland by the leader of the Democratic Unionist Party. As the Prime Minister faced fresh questions over trade within the UK after Brexit, Arlene Foster said Government officials had told her there would need to be checks. Asked on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme about the sense of some in the unionist community that Mr Johnson’s deal was a “betrayal”, she said: “I think it is right for the leadership of unionism in Northern Ireland to try to work with the prime minister of the day to get the best deal for Northern Ireland. “We will always do that. We will continue to do that. I think it says more about the person who broke their word than me and the leadership of the… Democratic Unionist Party.”

Brian Eno Shares New Song “Everything’s On The Up With The Tories” Ahead Of UK Election

The UK general election will take place this Thursday, and Brian Eno has shared quite an original song ahead of the vote. Eno has been extremely vocal about his politics for decades now, and he was among the public figures who signed a letter expressing support for Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn in the upcoming election. Naturally, the title of his new song, "Everything's On The Up With The Tories," is deeply tongue-in-cheek. It's a very British jaunt that lays into the party of Boris Johnson. Some lyrics: "Everything's up the creek with the Blue Boys/ They're selling off the NHS to cowboys/ They're cutting back on nurses, but investing it in hearses, the nitwits, and the we-don't-have-a-clue boys." And more: "Everything's on the up with the righties/ Who worship at the feet of Trump Almighty/ There's people in the street without a bloody crust to eat/ But everything's on the up with the Tories." If you're in the UK, find a guide to voting here and check out Eno's song below.
