I had a friend that was on a one way road to death. A wicked alcoholic. No matter how he tried he always ended up back on the bottle. When he was 50 I asked if he would take out a policy and name me as beneficiary. I would make the payments. Would have been a good gamble. He was dead at 53. No, he never took out any additional insurance. He never changed the beneficiary either as I and friends had suggested. He had a young son with another woman. He had been married when young and never bothered to get a divorce from his wife. Twenty five years had passed since he left his wife. Guess who got the 25 grand. Not his young son but his estranged wife. She laughed all the way to the bank. |
