It is but it's really worth it! If something happens to him you can fall back on that. I had to do ALOT of research on it but once I did all the research and made a list of the pros and cons, the pros just over took the cons. And I wanted to save that money for him, that money that we are using for the banking could be a college tuition or a small trust fund, which is still being done, just not that much is being put away.
Also there's ways you can do it and pay it off little by little, kinda like a loan. I think everyone should look into it..

Some will do it cheaper but guess it depends where you live my quote was 1500 initially and 500 a year for them to store it
