FUN FACT ABOUT LIFE INSURANCE: DID YOU KNOW??
Apollo astronauts used autographs as life insurance!
Apollo mission astronauts had it tough when it came to life insurance. NASA didn’t cover them, and traditional life insurance companies did not want to insure them either. The risks were just too high for traditional insurance.
What did they do? They signed autographs!
NASA created a series of “Insurance Covers,” which looked like post cards commemorating whatever Apollo mission they were going on. They would give some to each crewmember, who would sign all of them. The crewmembers would then give the insurance covers to their families as close to launch as possible. The value of these cards would be pretty high by itself. In the tragic case they didn’t return, however, the value of these cards would go up immensely. This way, their families could sell them and be able to provide for themselves!!
MORAL OF THE STORY: LIFE INSURANCE IS IMPORTANT!!
Interestingly enough, it has been said that more than 95 million US adults don’t have life insurance. We hope this will help you realize just how important coverage is!!

AARP magazine had an article on Social Security for women whose husbands social security check was larger than theirs. The article stated that if the marriage lasted 10 years or more, the divorcee might be entitled to her ex- husbands monthly amount. Is this true ? Thank you, Elly
