About this Quote

This quote by Kin Hubbard is an amusing way of stating that as we age, life ends up being more expensive. The concept of life insurance is that it is a way to secure ourselves and our liked ones financially in the event of an unanticipated death. In the same way, as we age, we need to invest more in our health, our relationships, and our way of life in order to maintain an excellent quality of life. The quote indicates that the more we invest in our lives, the more costly it becomes, but it deserves it in the end because it brings us delight and satisfaction. In other words, the older we get, the more we require to invest in our lives in order to have fun and enjoy life.
