Your Finance Story

Whole life insurance, apparently, covers your whole life. Does that mean that a normal life insurance only covers part of your life. Which part? I would have thought, if you lose your life, you lose your whole life and not just part of it.

Have you ever seen a commercial with the words whole life insurance in? I don't think I have, there again I rarely watch commercial television and never listen to commercial radio. Even if I do watch commercial television, the commercials are the time to go to the loo, make a sandwich, make a cup of tea and anything else you care to do to avoid watching adverts.

I would think you would get quotes for whole life insurance the same way you would for home insurance. I'm still not sure what whole life insurance is exactly. I did look up the phrase whole life insurance but the whole blurb was so boring that it flew straight out of my mind as I read it. Does that happen to you?

If I am not particularly interested in a subject I can become extremely stupid and not retain any knowledge of anything I've read. Maybe if companies made their facts into poems or into interesting descriptions or stories of how these things work, I would retain more information. According to some sign I saw somewhere, we retain twenty per cent of everything we hear, twenty per cent of everything we see and twenty per cent of everything we use a another sense for. According to the same source we retain one hundred per cent of what we see, hear and whatever the other thing was. Now that was a subject I was a bit interested in and I still forgot what the last thing was.

Geography facts always escape me. If you want to go any where in the world, at least in my book and from where I live, you turn left past Coventry. Obviously that is not at all helpful to anyone and particularly to people who live miles away from Coventry. It just stopped my daughters asking me geography questions when they were younger. The other ploy was to tell them that geography, physics etc. were dads department and they would have to ask him.

In a previous story, I said my write online stuff seemed to be jinxed at the minute and this one has not been an exception. Just as I got to three hundred and twenty words, my youngest daughters partner turned up to get his uniform for work tomorrow.

Right, I am now going to watch the X Factor results show, sad I know and Doc Martin and I hope I have more luck with writing tomorrow.
