Los riesgos son inevitables en este mundo, y esa es la razón por la que tenemos seguros: para mitigarlos. Por el precio de una prima, transfieres parte del riesgo a la compañía de seguros y a cambio recibes un pago si se presenta un problema. El objetivo es reducir tu vulnerabilidad ante una pérdida repentina y potencialmente catastrófica, y proteger así tu patrimonio financiero y el de tus seres queridos. En teoría suena bien, pero algunas formas de seguro no son necesarias o quizás no valgan la pena.

In March 2020, at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, many of us were called into one of the most important and under-recognized roles someone can be: a family caregiver. Thirty months later, we at AARP bring recognition to this role in honor of National Family Caregiver Month and bring to light the importance of these selfless people. The term "family caregiver" refers to the millions of Americans who help their parents, spouses, and other loved ones remain at home. They provide emotional, physical, financial, and companionship to those they care for daily.
