Life Insurance

One of the books I’m reading right now talks about what types of investments you could make in your life and what is the right time to do them. Some of the investments they recommend you do in having a life insurance policy, but even if you have kids. The organization Life and Health Insurance Foundation for Education (LIFE) has an article that talks about the benefits of life insurance:

“If you have worked hard to build a solid financial structure for your family, investments, property, savings plan, retirement accounts,” life insurance is the foundation that supports it. You can protect yourself and your family against the need to dramatically change future plans if the unexpected occurs. Certain types of life insurance to have a built-saving option that can help them achieve their goals of asset accumulation. ”

The simplest way to see insurance is a good investment that you could do for the future of your loved ones. Use a calculator policy in New York to see how official life insurance of $ 1,000,000 for a person of 29 years, healthy, not smoking, etc. This individual should pay the insurance of U.S. $ 3.405 annually for the rest of his life. If this person comes to live in, say, 80 years this amount was nearly $ 200,000 in total payment. This also gives you the assurance that if you die before they have the same money, but this will not happen, we know you’re going to live until at least 80. Not you, but I think it & 1,000,000 for investing $ 200,000 is not such a bad idea (of course if you add inflation this was much less in purchasing power, but this is talking in another post.)

You should invest the same amount and earn at least 6% a year in interest to reach this same amount at age 80.

Education as Investment

Some time ago published an article on the importance of education, not only as intellectual and personal growth, but as a method of investing for your future. The article explains how people who study statistically tend to earn more income during their lifetime, and stresses education one of the best investments you can make.

I grasp at the same time, provide missing short example of how this phenomenon occurs, and I did raise this in this post on Saturdays. I explain that although education is always related to college, title, licensing, and other academic names, the definition used here is any kind of knowledge gained to help you produce more income for the same time working hours. Here is an example:

Let’s say you’re an auto mechanic, and in this profession wanted about $ 500 a week repairing cars and have done this for three years. There is a mechanics course hybrid that costs $ 1000 to be certified to repair and maintenance service to hybrid cars.

With this investment of $ 1000 you have been able to produce $ 100 more every week because you are one of the only mechanics in your area with this certification. In one year this investment of $ 1,000 education you will have generated $ 4,800 (assuming you work 48 weeks a year). This means that generating a 480% in return on investment. There is this company that will yield at this time. Remember that you are working the same hours in the shop, and you get tired just your house, only with more revenue by taking a course in mechanical hybrid (or whatever, sorry, I’m not an engineer).
