Your Finance Tales

I am looking for over 50 life insurance . There are lots of commercial companies offering over 50 life insurance. But that is the problem. There are so many offering over 50 life insurance that I don't know where to begin to find the best rates. I don't think I need much coverage. Just enough for a funeral will do. I am not a high risk liability so it should be easy.

My friend said

'go to the library Betty, they'll sort you out on the computer and you'll be able to find over 50 life insurance without trailing the streets, and you have time to think without getting talked into something you don't want'

'Oh , I can't do that, I wouldn't know where to start on a computer' I replied dismissively

'Yes you can, gosh Betty love, If I can learn, anyone can learn how to use a computer!'

'Oh I don't know its a bit late in life for me I think...'

'Betty there are millions of silver surfers out there get your coat we are off to the library'

So Maggie dragged me to the library explained to the assistant what I wanted to do and within ten minutes I was hooked up to a computer and surfing the net for my information on insurance.

It really was easy. The assistant kept popping over and even got me printouts from the pages I was interested in. This was a whole new world to me. It was exciting. I felt really chuffed with myself.

When I had got what I needed Betty showed me how to join networks by putting my basic details in. We had a great giggle as she showed me through a network site she was on for the over fifties . Actually giggling aside it was brilliant. People swapping stories about their daiy lives. The opportunity make friends and even meet a new partner . Whatever you wanted. It was great. What had I been missing.

'Maggie we're going shopping ,and its my treat for a coffee this time'

'OK love. You seemed to take to that like a duck to water'

We left the library and went for a coffee and a cream cake ...well it it would be wrong not to. Then I said to Maggie,

'Right we are off to Argos'

'Argos?'

'Yes, I'm going to buy myself a computer, then I'm going to join all you other silver surfers!'

'Whey! good for you Betty ,good for you, come on what are we waiting for' We giggled like schoolgirls all the way home.
