The Uncertainty of Life and Financial Planning
Life insurance addresses the inherent uncertainty of when and how individuals will die. It is rooted in the concept of risk sharing, where a group contributes to a fund that will provide for those who pass away unexpectedly. This collective pooling makes life insurance crucial for ensuring that dependents and loved ones are financially secure after an individual’s death. Ultimately, it highlights the importance of considering mortality risks and having plans in place to mitigate them.
