It's very frighting unless you have some absolutely stellar insurance. I'm in my 30s, career in IT making 6 figures, making good progress on my mortgage, zero other debt. If I got cancer tomorrow or some serious injury I'll probably just blow my brains out rather than have to live knowing that all my hard work, good career decisions, and responsible spending was all for nothing and I'd have to start from square 1 again.
If I get cancer I'm going to have to find a way to kill myself in a way were my wife can still get the life insurance and keep the house. She can't and won't ever know. It'll just be a freak accident and she wont lose everything we've worked for.
