The No Insurance Life Insurance Anomaly

Prior to my much anticipated (and tragically abbreviated) retirement in December 2019 I was a worth a small fortune. Dead!
My employer offered a generous death in service benefit which, upon my untimely demise whilst in their employ, would furnish the grieving Mrs. WorDazza with a lump sum of seven times my annual salary as well as an annual pension equivalent to one third of my annual salary. I spent a lot of my time watching my back I can tell you!!
After retiring I realised I needed to replace the generous package supplied by my erstwhile employer but, me being me, I kept putting it off. Then one day it hit me. Well actually Mrs. WorDazza almost hit me as she came out of the bathroom and almost knocked me down the stairs. "That was close" she chuckled "although you're not worth bumping off now".
So there you have it. The best form of life insurance for me is to not have any life insurance. And that realisation led me to become even more indispensable by accepting an offer I wasn't allowed to refuse and start working again in December raking in a tidy hourly rate for sitting in my spare room for six hours per day ensuring a high end car manufacturer can get new software onto their vehicles when required.
So no life insurance and a tidy little earner make WorDazza a safe boy.
And there you have it. You now know, albeit in a somewhat circumlocutory fashion, why I haven't been around here much and, if you're a life insurance salesman, not to bother trying to sell me any.

@WorDazza We just sold half our water licence which means quite an increase in our funds which means quite a drop in our pension so we'll be looking to make 'adjustments' to lessen the impact. However, Vince doesn't seem very keen on just spending some of it. lol He's hard to help sometimes.

Forget the life insurance, you'll never get your life back at this point
But now a little accident coverage might well be called for.

For all I know Mrs. WorDazza may have insured my life for a huge sum!!!
I'll continue checking for roller skates at the top of the stairs, heavy objects balanced on top of slightly ajar doors etc. I watch cartoons. I know about these things!!
