The recent disaster that was Ondoy made me realize, once again, how fragile life is. Thankfully, I have no family member that perished in this disaster. Property damage, yes, there are lots, but not lives, and for that I am eternally grateful. Other people were not so lucky.
In times like these, I'm reminded of my own mortality. That I really have no control over when and how I'll be called. That's why I opted to get whole life and term life insurance quotes a few years back. My thinking was that I needed to ensure, at least for a short time, that the people who depend on me will not have financial worries if ever I'm taken from them.
