How (and Why) to Buy Life Insurance
Buying Life Insurance seems to be one of those “I’ve finally grown up, I guess I need life insurance” sorts of decisions you make. It often comes into play when you buy a house, get married, or have children.
As it should.
But getting life insurance simply because you think you might need it, without really understanding how much to get or the options you have is a mistake – one that could cost you now in overbearing and unnecessary premiums, or one that will cost you (or your loved ones) later, when you realize that there wasn’t enough to cover your needs.
Here is a basic guide to get you started.
iStopOver: Earn Extra Income or Travel on the Cheap, and a Special Promotion for Wise Bread Readers

And they are offering a special promotion just for Wise Bread readers.
TRIP SHAKE
Trip Shake is a new web-platform for people to ask travel-related questions and read featured tips from travel-savvy writers. I am one of said travel-savvy writers. (At least, until they figure out that I’m a complete fraud and I only pretend to know what I’m talking about).

i’ve grown up, but i don’t really see the point in life insurance just yet. or maybe, i’m just being lazy in educating myself:)
