Some insight from 2023 Insurance Barometer Study

    Gen Z and Millennials are more likely to have minor dependent children and worry more than older generations about:


  • Leaving dependents in a difficult financial situation should they die prematurely
  • Paying for children’s schooling/college
  • Paying mortgage or rent
  • Supporting self/family should they become disabled
  • Paying off/reducing their own student loan debt

Results from the 2023 Insurance Barometer Study, by LIMRA and Life Happens, can help the industry understand their financial priorities and purchase preferences to ensure these consumers have the life insurance they need to protect their financial security.

你是三国里的:

 

你是三国里的:关羽

美髯公;关公;武圣
三国演义中的关羽是一员不可多得的猛将,同时也是一个非常忠诚的人。出场时与刘备张飞桃园结义,打造兵器后参加镇压黄巾起义
的战争中,而后虽然与刘备东奔西走,颠沛流离,但仍能斩将杀敌,大显神威。《三国演义》中以旁白视角叙事时,通常称关羽为“云长”或“关公”,
极少直呼其名,而整部《三国演义》中除了对皇帝称帝号外,亦只有关羽、刘备、诸葛亮有此待遇。
你身上有着“云长”的影子,一身正气凌然,厌恶不公与暗箱操作,对待朋友仗义,集智慧、勇气、毅力、大志于一身,有胆有识有为,
终会成就一番事业。
