In turn, if you have no debts to pay off, this can become your estate to leave behind. Applying when you are young makes you eligible for a better life insurance policy because, in theory, you are in better health than your parents- although doing a few extra sit-ups or quitting smoking might not hurt anyway.

Images of flower power stickers and "radical" hippies may have been your first thought when Earth Day approached this past Wednesday. Or maybe you felt a little nostalgic and recalled drawing pictures of children hugging the earth back in elementary school. However, Earth Day organizers, and I, want to clarify this image for you.
