    I go through it with my agent. I like to be overly insured in all ways, life, home and car. Less to worry about.

    Interesting. Wonder who paid for these studies. I didn't see that in either article, and it's a pretty sure bet that the study's results would be different, if they were paid for by the tobacco industry, than by oh let's say the AMA or cancer research.

    ethos, I'm going to drink a bottle of wine and smoke three packs of cigarettes in your honor! I think I will have to do at least one jump.

    I had a LITTLE problem with life insurance coverage about 35 years ago when my insurance agent saw an article about me doing rock climbing and, "Climbing frozen WATERFALLS!!!???"

    I had to sign a form that said I was absolutely aware there was NO payment for getting pancaked at the bottom of a cliff.

    I suggest you go skydiving as soon as possible, it is an amazing experience! I'm on the road so I can't drink but I'll knock back a few when I get home.

    Hell. Just earning a living as a "truck driver" will cause you to pay more than the average Joe for basic life insurance.

    Actually, after reflecting on this during dinner, I've come to the conclusion that there is likely more truth to this than I originally thought.
     
    ethos and tucker Thank this.

    Seat belts and helmets - I'll never understand why people refuse to wear them.
