That may make sense in your situation.

I too have been scouting around in a different scenario — just the Mrs and me, no children to worry about. On a first online search, I find I can get the same level of annual worldwide cover up to age 75 for less than £150. It's a no-brainer, isn't it? Now to see what my brother-in-law, an insurance broker, can come up with. (He always beats the online guys.)
