Bankrate: Anything you can share as far as how you are planning for your retirement and
long-term financial future?
Mike Greenberg: It's funny, because recently, I did the first completely unselfish thing in my
entire life -- I bought a whole bunch of life insurance. That was a financial
decision I had never really thought about before. All of a sudden you wake up
one day and realize, I've got two kids, and if I should get hit by a truck tomorrow,
this is potentially a major problem. All of a sudden, in one day, I went from
just being concerned with, "I want to have money to take nice vacations and go
to Europe this year," to much longer-term thinking.
Lesson learned:
Life insurance is important when you have a young family.
