How may people need you? (Please list them)
An article in a psychology journal several years ago drew a corollation between the number of people who need you compared your life expectancy and general health.
Recenly a few major insurance companies have adjusted their actuary tables to include how many people needs the perspective policy holder.
Please list the people who need you; pets definitely count as people in regards to the corellation done in the study.
(Be careful, a certain number range is a good thing, but if too many people need you it is unhealthy according to the study.)

Dear "wolfeB" - I don't want to spoil it for the other responders; but, you sound very healthy to me. (you are in the range) - PS: certain categories of people do not count as factors in the corellation.

Dear "dizzi", in that way you may be improving the health of others. But, think hard, I bet you can muster a list. (remember pets count in the study, and so do other not so obvious people.)

Dear gorgeous, Each animal counts if you name them, remember in this study pets/animals are people too.

People can be described as their relationship to you, but pets must be named. -

Dear Jack - I am an old retired person. I do not even have an insurance policy. I planned my life, so I and my family would not have to have one.

My two sons. (I have an older son that is a young adult but is at this point financially independent.)
I also have two dogs, Dixie and Pete.
So I have two children and two dogs.

Seeing as I don't have children yet, I really don't think I am needed by anyone in my family or social circle. They are all pretty independent people. Although we operatate on an interdependent level, none of them actually depend on me to the extent they couldn't function without me or me without them, and I think this is very healthy. It is, however, a great feeling to be wanted.
You are correct. I have a chiuaua named Nina (include the n yea sound on the second n). I don't have any siblings, but my younger cousins (2 boys and a girl) do see me as a role model.

My husband, my German shepherd, my sister-in-law, and four very good, close friends need me for various things ranging from food, emotional support, transportation, etc. The number has been higher in the past when my mom and my father-in-law were alive, but those seven people are the main ones right now.
So, how am I doing in the correlation department? Is it time to fill out my will, or can I plan to go sky-diving to celebrate my 85th birthday? ;-)

Necessity is relative.
(Your need/request for a list, which is found in parenthesis above, may be unwise to place here in post, according to your own claims of actuarial accountability by insurance companies)
Why do you also then request the wish for possible posters here to "be careful" in regards to what you wish for post here when you show proof of absolutely no care in regards to my earlier mention of notice in your asking for the posting of self-harming posts?
Anything considered to be correlated as towards the main topic listed herein is also relative to many other factors.
I find your posted question to be having skewed motive as to reason, confusing, and very much fighting against itself in the asking of any information you have requested.
Do you sell policies?

Need you in what sense? In the economical way, in the society way, in the familiar way or in the professional way.
Can be from 5 up to 4 millions.
