My best mate got married last year and his wife is expecting, and I think that these monumental occasions are causing him to have a bit of an early-life crisis.

He's looking into life insurance now, in case anything (God forbid) happens to him and he's unable to be there to support his growing family. It's a scary thought, and at first I thought he was way too young and early in life to be thinking about something like life insurance, especially when we have so much other things to pay these days with taxes and bills. But it's true.

If anything did happen to him, he'd have to have some sort of assurance that his family would be looked after. It got me thinking about when I'll be in a position to need life insurance. If I get into the family set up one day I will want to do everything I can to ensure their well-being whether I'm there or not.

But I suppose I don't really need it yet, because I don't really have the set up where I'd have to leave my wealth and belongings and 'assets' to my loved ones.

Well, that was a bit deep!
