Weighing Our Options: Life Insurance and Health Cards

Our 2015 goals include two very important things: life insurance and heath cards. These are non-negotiables. The hubby and I have to get them this year or never. We’re actually very late; we should’ve gotten them a long time ago. But you know, we weren’t as prepared then as we are today.
