Investment and Insurance – Keys To Secure Your Family’s Future

In one of my earlier posts, I had quoted Mr Warren Buffet who says “If you don’t find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die“. And I’m sure most of you out there would agree. Of all the various financial instruments on offer, I believe that Mutual Funds are an excellent way for anyone to put their money to work. With their hard-earned money managed by a professional, there’s a lesser chance of things going bad. (barring external factors) I’m glad to see that more and more people have started investing. Many feel that investment is more critical than having insurance – health insurance plans to be specific – and often rely on their employer-provided health insurance plans. I’m against that. I believe that having diversified investments and health insurance is a great way to secure your family’s future.

Changing Lifestyle – the culprit

Gone are the days when physical work was more. People would walk from one desk to another, one building to another. Today, that’s all replaced by Skype. Even if I have to talk to the person in the next cubicle, I’ll ping them rather than going there. Our lives revolve around our desks which have become our home and work. On an average, a person spends about 8-10 hrs in front of the computer. And that means a sedentary lifestyle which leads to improper food and finally affects health.

As a travel blogger, I feel that being fit is essential when you travel. If you are healthy, you can easily handle anything that comes your way. And it all depends on your lifestyle. However, no matter how much you try, some issues crop up during the later years of your life. And to ensure that things stay under control, health insurance plans help.
