How old are you? Are you married or anything?
It wouldnt be a bad idea to at the very least have some insurance so that your family can afford to bury you and all that.
I'm 25 and I have a $250k term policy. My parents pay the premium ($30/mo) are the beneficiary so that if anything were to happen to me, it essentially pays off the little debt I have and my vehicle, and they'll be able to bury me with indebting themselves.
