Is YOLO Still A Thing?

As we all know, YOLO stands for You Only Live Once. It essentially means celebrating life because you never know what the future holds. This holds even until today because of the pandemic. We have gone through many trials and tribulations in the past few years. These words are what most people think about because of the frailty of life, as proven by the Coronavirus.

However, is there a tendency to overuse this particular concept? Are some people trying to abuse the idea of celebrating life to its fullest? Has it lost its value and edge over other intrinsic and traditional beliefs in life?
​
We will answer these questions in the next paragraphs. If you want to learn more, please don’t hesitate to continue reading.

A Brief History
Before we continue, let’s first discuss the brief history of YOLO. Canadian rapper Drake popularized it in 2011. It has been widely used to be carefree as it urges people to be more relaxed when approaching life in general.
This being said, there are also negative sides to imbibing the term. Since its inception, many young people have used YOLO to justify doing reckless things in their life. This is why adults tend to despise the term, particularly in recent years.

Realizing the Fragility of Life
However, in today’s society, the sentence “You only live once.” tends to resonate more in terms of meaning. This is because of the Coronavirus pandemic. Since the mortality rate has significantly gone up because of the virus, people have started to realize just how fragile life is.

That is why we should start investing in our future if we want our families to survive without us because tomorrow is never promised.

How can we do this aside from taking care of our health? By investing in life insurance. Life insurance protects our family members from financial rulings in case of your demise. It is also a wise investment of your money mainly because you will not touch it until necessary. This means that it will appreciate even more down the road.

The Closing Statement
So what are you waiting for? If you truly believe in YOLO, you should not hesitate to invest in Life Insurance. It will protect the entire family in the end.
