So I got suckered into one of those financial review sessions and my "financial advisor" who we all know is really an insurance salesman starts pitching all the benefits of having cash value life insurance, an annuity, and getting Long Term Care. I'm 40 and in good health but am open to having an alternative savings account, lifetime income, and insurance to care for me once I'm old and brittle. Currently our family financial health is good, we're very fortunate and life a very comfortable lifestyle.
I'm just on the fence which way should I go, which ones I should consider and which one isn't necessary. I just feel that if I'm fully insured for any adverse health condition, I'm less likely to live a healthier and safer life. While the converse, if I'm not so fully insured I'm more likely to be more cautious about my diet, health, and strenuous activities. Would greatly appreciate some honest feedback since we all know insurance agents are highly incentivized to make sales from their high commissions.
Thanks so much!!
