New York Life must be on a revenue generation mission. My latest AARP magazine had an advertisement for their AARP group term insurance with an increased limit I hadn’t seen before. You can now “add to your family’s financial security with up to...

I will post this very quietly so as not to wake the life insurance underwriters who would likely leap on an article like this to do away with the great non smoking rates that cigar smoking applicants are getting right now. By the way, I haven’t seen this...

Relieve that stress and get away from it all for a little camping. Pictured above is what a few thousand people call getting away from it all every year during the Ride the Rockies bicycle tour. A little bike ride through the mountains with 2000 people. What, are they...

What I have hoped to drive home over the past several posts on women and life insurance is really that there is very little difference between men and women and the needs they are trying to meet. I’ve tried, and I hope accomplished, explaining why there is...

You know what really is great about being able to get good rates and place policies in force for those with bipolar disorder? The families are so grateful because of all they’ve been through with the demeaning treatment and declines they have received at the...

Moving on with this series of posts on all the variations on the need that women have for life insurance, whether by choice or not we have ever growing numbers of single moms. Of all the different scenarios that women face when it comes to life insurance, perhaps that...

The carefree life of the young and single! Been there and done that, and I don’t believe I was the odd person out when I failed to plan for the future. My assumption was that if things changed I would deal with it as it came up. That included any thoughts about...

This is a subject worthy of revisiting. Men especially, but women also, underestimate the need for life insurance in almost all scenarios. Even when there should be no other assumption than exactly equal we somehow manage to come up with the wrong answer. If we say...

There is a real tendency in the whole conversation about life insurance to leave women out of the conversation entirely or at best to make them an “add on” thought. The truth is that as almost all families either are or are becoming second income...

I know I have beat the subject to death and beat up on other agents who don’t beat the subject to death, but allow me to begin this Monday by sharing with you the actual cost of dragging your feet. This particular example actually is a long time friend of mine...

Angioplasty has been praised for its’ less invasive approach to fixing clogged arteries than the traditional bypass surgery by many and it has been labeled a dangerous scam by others. In light of a couple of takes on angioplasty by CBS news this week I want to...

With all the work and research we’ve done over the past few years concerning mood disorders and especially bipolar disorder I have run across few resources that would even remotely compare to Julie Fast’s Bipolar Happens website. Julie’s story of her...
