Life Insurance

Missy J.

Sadly, Missy J’s first encounter with life insurance came at age 14 when it paid for her father’s funeral expenses. Her next encounter came all too quickly. A year and a half later her mother was diagnosed with cancer and died soon afterward.

Missy, now 26 and wise beyond her years, when asked about her experiences, said, “You can’t take for granted tomorrow’s going to come. You have to make sure your future is safe.”

Today, Missy teaches second grade in West Bend, Wisconsin and is preparing for married life with Ryan, her high school sweetheart. Her parent’s decision to place the insurance benefits in a trust fund paying out periodically has provided in many ways. While in college, it helped pay her educational expenses and living costs and recently, it covered a down payment for her condo. Missy gratefully shares, “I own a home, a car, have a great job and a wonderful future husband all because my parents planned ahead. It was just exactly what my parents would have wanted.”
