I recently purchased a gym membership for dd20, a workout nut. She went months going to gyms with free day or week passes, combined with being a guest with her friends. I can’t tell you how many times she used my email to sign up again. She now goes to a gym at college that has a branch here at home. The covid restrictions at her university’s awesome gym made it pretty hard (reduced capacity, needing to sign up for different floors).
i did'nt realize until recently when our gyms reopened and one posted a banner about being affiliated with certain insurance companies to check borh ours/dd's health insurance to see if they provided free gym memberships as a benefit. sure enough both do with several national chains.
Our biggest thing is probably our home. When we bought a house a few years after we were married, we bought a home based on the fact that I might quit working and stay home with the kids someday (which I did for 6 yrs).
we did the same when we bought our first home (way back in '91) but a tragic event for a co-worker made us up our game in regards to covering our mortgage. a co-worker in her late 20's married to a man of similar age. she was 8 months pregnant and went to bed early one night. when she awoke the next morning she couldn't wake her dh who was subsequently found to have passed due to a massive heart attack (no preexisting conditions). they had bought their home with the idea of either being able to cover the cost of the mortgage independently but she initially had no income due to the shock/bereavement, and subsequently due to no childcare (their plan was for her to stay at home). after witnessing her lose her home, auto and face near bankruptcy that we opted (when we held mortgages on our homes) to always have a life insurance poly on each other that would cover the payoff entirely for the surviving spouse.
