Delhi-based management consulting professional Komal and Aditya, both 30, has been married for over five months. They have so many things in their bucket list including discussion on money matters. While one might think money is a subject that does not quite gel with love, it is a crucial factor in marriages. The growing familiarity has also led to them being dependent on each other physically, emotionally, and financially.
With life being unpredictable, though, one can hardly know what could happen in the near future. With the security of having your spouse helping you with every single decision you make, the loss of a spouse can be more devastating than any other loss.
In case a couple shares household responsibilities equally, it can be jolting to find that one day you or your spouse would have to manage everything on their own with no one to rely on. Even if you are aware of a possibility of the impending doom, perhaps a chronic illness, you can never be truly prepared to see your loved ones leave them forever. After becoming habituated to the security and companionship your spouse provides, it would be nothing less than difficult to fall into a pattern of living without that companionship and security. To avoid a scenario such as this, it is important to secure the future of your spouse, at least as far as finance is concerned, so that he/she will never have to be dependent on others or be faced with a perplexing situation.
A term plan is a reasonably priced way to give you and your family members peace of mind, knowing that they will be sheltered if something happens to you. You no longer have to worry about their financial future as by your simple move they will be able to continue their current lifestyle.
