Sounds like a silly question, right?! Could someone possibly think that a pizza is more important than a human life, or better yet the life of a loved one? No Jason ... that's just too silly to imagine. Now, what a minute, lets talk this out. First off we need to establish what we are really talking about here. I mean a pizza dinner at let's say Monical's Pizza, in Linton, if you order a large pizza Meat Eater Special with breadsticks and sodas for 4 people would cost roughly $32 (including tip).
Does that sound about right? I think it does, and I think most of us will have pizza at least once a month (it's reported that 70% of Americans do). So that proves to me that Pizza is more important than life! Because nearly half of those folks having pizza this month will say that they don't have enough life insurance (according to a LIMRA study in 2013)
"But Jason", you say in a whiny voice, "Life insurance costs so much and pizza is so cheap!' Most Americans greatly over estimate the cost of a life insurance policy. For example, a non tobacco using man age 30 who is good health and a normal body weight can get a level term policy with a face amount of $500,000 for $28 a month. How much does he need? Well if he is 30 years old and he currently provides $40,000 a year for his family, he will earn $1,400,000 over the next 35 years until he retires, at age 65. So lets say he wants to be worth 1,000,000 .. guess what the monthly cost would be? About $46 a month or less than a pizza dinner and one trip to the Linton movie theater (full price adult tickets are $6.75) for a family of 4 ...
Life insurance is affordable and necessary ... don't make dinner and movie more important than your family's security.
