Working as a police officer for more than seven years, I know my dad has encountered a lot of controversial cases. Sometimes, my mom would tell him to quit his job and to just put up his own business. After all, my mom’s job as a marketing executive enables her to provide well for the family. But my dad does not entertain the idea of giving my mom all of the responsibilities. No matter how hard we try to convince him to change his profession, he just doesn’t want to do it. My dad loves his job. Although we know that his life is always on danger whenever he steps out of the house and go to work, he would still handle different operations. The bad thing is that he has to deal with hard criminals.
My parents actually talked about this matter. They came up with an idea of getting life insurance. Since my dad’s job is quite dangerous, he really wants to get life insurance. My mother has also decided to get her own insurance policy. When I asked them why they suddenly want to have this particular insurance plan, their answer is plain and simple. They just want to secure our future. I am still studying in high school and my sister has recently turned two years old. My mom said that my grandmother also had life insurance for seniors. When she died, my mom and my aunt were able to get some benefits.
I do not know much about life insurance though I know that there are many life insurance companies selling different life insurance plans. But I can get the basic idea of what my parents are trying to say. I just feel bad with these negative thoughts. But somehow, I can understand their sentiment. Nowadays, it is very difficult to leave your family without any insurance. My dad thinks that it is better to be prepared just in case something bad happens.
