Hospital Bill for my mom has arrived. Without some subsidies, we would be in serious trouble. But our problems are far from over as at now. We have a monthly bill to pay for the nursing home. I wonder how we will pull through and if she'll ever get better at all. It would be nice to have her home again. I hope for miracles. I really do. I shall make this as short as possible. I"m tired. Till my next update.

Saving For Retirement
When saving for retirement, one must not only save for daily expenses, they must also take into account medical costs and to ensure that there are enough insurance coverage as well as cash to cover costs that are not covered by medical and hospital insurance policies. I'm now experiencing first hand of my parents mistakes. They didn't plan well. They didn't include medical costs. It is inevitable that when we get to our old age, we might possibly face some medical problem. It's not that I'm a pessimist. When I look around me, I hardly see a senior citizen who is very fit and has no medical issues. Old age is something that we must all face. Will the future senior citizens have less medical problems?
And as you know, the cost of medical treatment is getting more and more expensive each year. Even insurance policies are not able to cover everything. You'll need to pay even more premiums if you want more coverage. So seriously, when is really a good time to retire? What if there isn't enough? For those people who feel that they can rely comfortably on their kids, it's not all that simple. It can be very draining for the kids as they not only have to save for their own future but to also cover the costs of their parents medical costs. We are the sandwich generation. The burden is now on us. And now suddenly I feel the sudden urgency to top up my CPF while I can. And if possible, I'd like to continue to earn an income to keep myself going.
Doing nothing and sitting around can lead to dementia. Dementia is a serious disease that can rob you of your dignity, your freedom and independence. Even if you have enough money, I'd say just keep working. If not, then pick up an exercise regime, join a club to have friends and then pass the time by being part of something and contributing to something worthwhile. That's my word of wisdom for now.

How Insurance Works
By Mitesh Puri
Over the years, the rationale behind purchase of an insurance product has evolved a lot. And still, many a times policyholders keep figuring out what is insurance, how it works, why an insurance company does not return the premium if the insured does not die in case of term insurance, etc. In this article, we shall explain the whole concept of insurance in a very simple and lucid way. And after reading this article, you will be even able to decide which product you should buy based on your needs.
Insurance is a typical arrangement where 'many' individuals come together to cover the losses of a 'few'. Let's take a very simple example to explain this statement.
Let's say there are 200 members in a group of individuals working together. This group predicts that each year, 4 persons will die from it. The economic losses that the families of these 4 members will face after their death will be $ 50,000 each. However, no one knows who will be those 4 individuals who will die. Hence, in order to safeguard the financial interest of their families, each member contributes $1000 towards a common pool created by these members. The pool will then have $2,00,000. If in case of death of those 4 members, this pool will used to distribute money among the families of those 4 members. So, if we look at in other terms, each member safeguards his/her family members' financial interest of $50,000 by paying $1000.
And in actual terms also, this is how insurance works. No one in this world can tell when he/she is going to die. So, an insurance company helps individuals to come together, form a group, form a pool and asks each individual to contribute in to it. More the amount of money the members contributes, higher will be the amount his/her family will get in case of his death. This concept is a true portrayal of a term insurance product and this is why insurers never refund the premium in case of a pure term insurance product in case the member survives throughout the term of the policy. In case of traditional products, insurance companies increase the amount of this minimum contribution so that each member gets some amount if in case he/she does not die.
I'm sure by now you must have been able to understand how and why insurance came in to existence and how it works.

Insurance For The Dead And Living!
By Bennie N Winter
Insurance and other premiums are a drain on home economies. While some are wise investments, others are unwise charities. Protecting against catastrophic loss is a wise decision, while you live; however, via a livelier premium, Church structures require an alms extraction not sanctioned in modern timeliness. By any stretch, traditional ransoms to protect the soul after death are a bad investment.
Aside from questions of viability for the many thousands of branches, sects, and denominations in theist belief (disqualified by lack of unilateral purpose), how could rational thought hope to enhance omnipotence, omnipresence, or omniscience through human intervention?
If a Creator exists, who knows all, is everywhere, and has unlimited power, would such deity need any materialistic gift or benefit except abject subjection and submission? And how would consecrates know which of the many activities are acceptable? Sole requirement in the popular forum is belief! Yet, belief is an anomaly of the mind and subject to the quirks of geography, environment, and genetic assignment.
So, knowing our propensity to think differently and make all the wrong choices, let us examine the premium exacted for our commitment to secular or spiritual well-being. One such is an ordinance or ritual established forever but now discontinued amongst all Protestant groups--yet we continue to pay the premium.
As a benefit for the living, sometimes an Insurance policy pays less than expected; after all, the premiums are for Company coffers and not policyholder benefit - much like the Slot Machines in a Casino, which are there not to enrich patrons but to line the pockets of management: notwithstanding, Insurance policies are designed for profit and not protection.
By the same token, to reward the dead, a premium is exacted via the collection plate, but not for the benefit of Omnipotence, not a guaranty to heavenly bliss, but rather an agent to improve the lifestyle of golden-voiced evangelicals. Here, we come to the nitty-gritty, profit motive, and redistribution of your wealth. The promise expounded, as a scheme to fast talk your money into another's pocket, is an obsolete and misconstrued theology already lived and fulfilled. The collection plate benefits no one but the entity requesting funds.
In any scholarly discussion concerning the premium for our involvement, we need first to organize our thoughts, trivialize opinion, and conceptualize the 'for' and 'to' encountered in scriptural address. We must reasonably define 'for whom' Bible writers intended existing scripture and 'to whom' the spatiotemporal existentialism extended.
How Yahweh applies, in our present age, is wide-open to debate; indeed, can the presently adopted Biblical Age (Christian episodic interval) qualify or quantify as an inclusion to chosen peoples' cause? If so: Where can we find witnessing scripture for the Age of involvement? All Bible Ages included a beginning and end, including those designated eternal. If we live in a Biblical Age, can we pinpoint its beginning and predict its end, predicated on logic and syllogistic reasoning?
Daniel envisioned Ten Ages for completion of the God contract. Were you aware? What Age do you imagine for your own episodic interval? Are you paying a premium for nothing? It's time for serious thought! Advanced reasoning is available for those in need of an economic boost.
Ben Winter, particles physicist, Bible scholar, and author of "THE GREAT DECEPTION: Symbols And Numbers Clarified," reveals there 'is' something new under the sun -- that is, for modern Bible students, addressing a correctness of language and true intent of the major Bible topics: solves Bible mysteries, defines Gog and Magog, reveals Daniel He-goat's surprising identity, daring to number the all important Ten Ages.
