Am I Ready? No, Just Planning Ahead

With both my husband and I working, we’ve been talking about investing our hard earned money. We have a few extras now that Johan’s not going to school yet and we thought it’s a good time to make a few investments. We already inquired from insurance agents and we are currently studying a few that made some policy drafts for us. So far, we haven’t made a decision yet, hopefully soon.

Also, not to be morbid or anything, I am seriously considering purchasing a memorial lot for myself and for my husband. It’s not like I am planning our deaths but it’s more like being responsible and being prepared for whatever will happen. I don’t want to be a burden to the people I will be leaving behind and let them shoulder the costs of my death, my funeral casket and my burial. That would be asking too much.

Anyway, my mom and my sister are now paying monthly dues for their own memorial lots and it’s not expensive at all at only Php 500.00 per month, I am definitely thinking about it. Even my mom is now convincing me to do the same, “just in case”.  I just have to talk it out with my husband who kept on telling me, “you don’t plan things like these, it’s as if you’re calling out to the universe that you are ready to die.”


Am I ready? No, I'm just planning ahead. J
