![]() The recent death of Ray Liotta in late May of this year brought about great discussion in the insurance industry. Why? His death was unexpected on many levels. He was at the peak of his career, at the age of 67. He considered himself healthy and had plans for the future. Then on May 26th, he passed away in his sleep unexpectedly. He was quoted as saying “For some reason, I’ve been busier this year than all the years that I’ve been doing this. And I still feel I’m not done yet. I just think there’s a lot more.” With life expectancy being 78 for men and 81 for women in the U.S., along with the growing number of people living past 100, Liotta had a reason to believe he still had plenty of time. According to Pew Research, the number of people to live to 100 and beyond will grow eightfold by 2050. That’s only 28 years away! Part of the reason I am so passionate about helping clients prepare for life’s unexpected is exactly what Liotta’s death symbolizes. It was unexpected, as is the case for most people. Even when someone becomes terminally ill and there appears to be a little more time to get affairs in order, one should always be thinking, “If something were to happen to me tomorrow, would my family be provided for and financially covered?” 4 Misguided Reasons About Insurance
Just like banks are most likely to loan you money when you don’t need it, the same can be said for insurance companies. Insurance is meant to be a future-focused investment for peace of mind and security. If you wait until you actually need it, it may be too late. P.S.
