After my last post I remembered something else that I need to get in order in the next couple of days.  I am going to make all of our family doctor appointments.  I already did the dentist for eveyone.  Next I think I will move on to the eye doctors and ten check-ups.  It is very important to take care of your family.  It is so much better to keep your family well with regular check-ups.

Rich and I have been talking about some of the ways we would like to take care of our family.  One of the things we would like to do is get life insurance for the both of us.  In the past we thought this was a silly idea.  But now I realize that it is a very responsible idea.  Although we hate to think of the idea of dying we know that it is ineviable. 

Life insurance is not all we have thought about.  There is also burial insurance which is so valuable.  We learned recently how expensive a burial is.  I wouldn't want to leave that burden on my family while they were already grieving. 

One last thing that we really need to look at is mortgage insurance.  This is not just a piece of paper but an investment in peace of mind.  How great it will be to know that with mortgage protection insurance my house wil be paid for in the event that there is still a mortgage on it.  I never knew this was a real option.

So there you have.  We have entered our thirties and see our need for financial responsibility in more than one way.
