To see the New Year in.

Chapter is New Year’s Day.

I am a Life Insurance Policy



I Am a Life Insurance Policy
I am a piece of paper, a drop of ink and a few pennies of premium.
I am a promise to pay.
I help people see visions, dream dreams,
And achieve economic immortality.
I am savings.
I am property that increases in value from year to year.
I lend money when you need it most, with no questions asked.
I pay off mortgages, so that the family can remain together in their own home.
I assure people the daring to live and moral right to die.
I create money where none existed before.
I am the great emancipator from want.
I guarantee the continuity of business.
I conserve the employer’s investment.
I am tangible evidence that a man is a good husband and father, and a woman a good wife and mother.
I am a declaration of financial independence and economic freedom.
I am the difference between an old man or woman and an elderly gentleman or lady.
I provide cash if illness, injury, old age, or death cuts off the breadwinner’s income
I am the only thing that you can buy on the installment plan that your family doesn’t have to finish paying for.
I am protected by laws that prevent creditors from assessing the money I give to your loved ones.
I bring dignity, peace of mind and security to your family.
I supply investment capital that makes the wheels turn
And motors hum.
I guarantee the financial ability to have happy holidays and the laughter of children – even though father or mother is not there.
I am the guardian angel of the home.
I am life insurance.

Who you have always known you could be.

Do not wait; the time will never be ‘just right.’
Start where you stand, and work with whatever
Tools you may have at your command, and better
Tools will be found as you go along.
