There are many people who are wise enough and know the importance of life insurance. But they don't take an insurance policy simply because they cannot afford it. Believe me life insurance is very important for such kind of people who cannot afford to buy an insurance policy. After all life insurance is a blanket which can help you in times of dire needs. Even if you don't need an insurance help in your entire life, it will still help your family in your absence. Life insurance not only takes care of your family's day to day requirements, it also takes care of your debts that you leave behind, otherwise which your family would have suffered to repay that. If it is not possible to buy a costly insurance, you can even go for a much cheaper term life insurance. Term life insurance is basically a product which helps your family more then it helps you.

I had a friend who used to avoid taking life insurance policy just for the sake of saving some money. Yes, he was not a very rich man. He used to earn just sufficient enough for to run his daily house hold needs. But I would advice to such people, that it is even more important to get a life insurance, the reason is that a rich man can even afford to pay when ever there is an emergency for him, but what about a man who cannot even take care of the daily household requirements? One day he was painting his house from outside. He was using a ladder for to paint the roof of his house. Suddenly he slipped and fell down almost twenty feet on the ground and fell unconscious. He had to be taken to the hospital in an ambulance and was hospitalized for the treatment. The entire treatment cost him loads of money and finally when he came out of the hospital, he was highly indebted. He had to take a loan against his house to clear the hospital bill. Now he is paying for the monthly payments to the bank. Had he taken a life insurance policy, he could have saved himself from becoming a debtor. Not only his insurance policy would have taken care of the hospital bill, it would have also taken care of his house during the time he was in hospital without income.

Everyone ends up paying money either to the insurance company or the hospital for some or the other kind of treatment. My advice is that it is better to pay the insurance company than to the hospital. Believe me one treatment in times of emergency can make you bankrupt or a debtor.
