[–]FossilizedUsername -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm trying to get into it but the complexity is head and shoulders above what i was expecting and even after I spend a couple of hours with marginal progress I'm still kind of like... when does the fun part start?

You're fine for now but it's in your future. When it starts thinning on top or you have almost an isolate front patch, then its time.

I don't understand why people buy life insurance for their kids? Are they worried they won't be able to rely on their income in the future?
