Applying for life insurance is one of those things in life where you really have some control over what it feels like, how long it takes and how it ends. It is, in that respect, somewhat the polar opposite of applying for a passport. My memory of that was that once...

Either life insurance underwriters aren’t buying into what researchers and doctors are saying about the PSA, prostate specific antigen test, or in the case of one underwriter she’s just believing what he wants to believe to get through this case and not...

Some years ago, like 7 or 8 years, I tried doing some on line trading of stocks. After a couple of months it was obvious I was horrible at it so I hung up my trading software and haven’t been back. To this day I still get calls from stock brokers who always...

As much as I run across this, it’s sad to know that there are probably as many inaccurate life insurance quotes given each day as there are accurate life insurance quotes. The reason is that most life insurance agents don’t know how the underwriting works...

I just got my monthly reminder from AARP that I have not yet purchased that life insurance through the AARP Life insurance program that I inquired about 5 years ago, and I haven’t talked about senior life insurance or final expense life insurance for a while so...

It’s an interesting view from here. I’m not sure what the equivalent would be for someone who doesn’t write almost daily for years. Maybe just looking back at pictures of how you’ve changed? I’ve picked out half a dozen blog posts from...

It’s not like I’m some grumpy old guy that just thinks young men are stupid. There are a lot of refreshingly intelligent and down to earth young men out there who believe in stepping up to the plate, especially when it’s a plate of their own making....

With the amount of business rolling in for people working in AFghanistan and Iraq as civilian contractors it seemed an appropriate time to take a look at some of the other worldwide dangerous occupations where people are not going to find off the shelf accidental...

I’ve been working on a life insurance case that was recently approved. The client let me know that he had applied through another agent before he found my blog and decided to give me a shot. I am always certain that I’ve quoted the best price available so...

There is an application process in the life insurance industry called “Telelife”. It’s only offered by a few companies. It was first put in place about 15 years ago by the then Federal Kemper Life. At the time I worked for Eterm.com and we were told...

I’m all for rounding off. I mean if I owed someone $9 and I had a ten in my wallet and they didn’t have change I would call it good. I know. I know. One of the reasons I’m not filthy rich or any other kind of rich. There is something of a rounding...

As promised I have been on a mission these past several months to prove the worth, or not, of the Infinite Banking system or the Be Your Own Banker concept, whichever title you subscribe to. I ordered and read my 5th edition “Becoming Your Own Banker” book...

Where has our American “get er done” philosophy gone? It seems like I run into cases everyday where a person’s life insurance agent gives up if they application is not approved at the rate they thought their customer would get, or even declined. I...

Gosh. It’s been a while since I’ve talked about bipolar disorder life insurance and the continued success we are having placing reasonably priced life insurance for bipolar and the whole gamut of mood disorders. Since it has been a while let’s review...

I’ve never been a fan of Selectquote. Having worked (a long time ago) in a similar on line agency I know for a fact that with quantity (they claim to do 100,000 applications a year) quality suffers serious damage. The agents, if you can really call them that,...
