One of the most important financial decisions a person can make is buying insurance. Irrespective of what you earn, it is impossible to predict the future. Premature death, accidents, and illnesses that the breadwinner may face can rupture the financial well-being of an entire family. This could lead to devastating consequences for the surviving family members, as they will inevitably struggle to maintain their standard of living. However, if the victim had a life insurance policy, it will cover the outstanding debts or other such financial obligations.
