i YOUR LIFE ;
INSURANCE... !
I
It would be a pretty nice feel- j
ing if you had an extra $10,000 j
In cash, wouldn't it? Then you i
could say to your wife: “I’m j
going to put this money in the j
' bank in a special account. We |
won’t touch it. If I die before f
you do, this $10,000 is for you j
and the children. But if we live f
to retire, we will use it our- i
selves.”
Most of us don't have $10,000 i
of spare cash. But there is j
something you can do. Through
a life insurance endowment
policy you can have, if insur
able, $10,000 paid to your fam
ily if you die prematurely, or to
yourself in your old age.
