It’s no secret that with most types of cancer life insurance can be something of a hassle, if not impossible, to get even when a large amount of time has passed. When I say most things are sort of tilted in favor of that statement just because there are so many...

Believe me I get that we’re all grownups here and ultimately we are, in spite of our doctor’s opinion, in charge of our own health care. Let me share a personal story and then we’ll see how that looks for the rest of you, especially in relation to...

With personal life insurance there is very seldom a reason to panic if there is a delay or an unexpected decline that needs to be worked on to overcome. I know it happens anyway (the panic), especially when there has been a decline, but given a little time and the...

This is the 2015 version of the age old question, why term versus whole life? Some of the answers are the same and some are vastly different, I would say even dangerously different for those who are serious about their needs and just looking for the right product to...

How many times have conversations with prospective life insurance clients started with, “I was declined by 1, 2 or even 6 companies so I’m sure I’m not insurable”!! Let me just jump up and say that you aren’t that one life insurance agent...

Oops is one of those words you don’t want to hear from a surgeon or a life insurance agent. Oops, I meant to remove the other kidney! Oops I forgot to do an life insurance annual review so you would remember that your policy, one being paid on an automatic bank...

A query about life insurance yesterday from a 58 year old with no health history, no family history and no current treatment and a great build led to quotes at a preferred plus level. A return email today asked me to quote a worse rate class doubting that someone his...

I’ve been a part of the past and the present in the life insurance business. In the past you might get a card in the mail asking if you wanted a life or health insurance agent to come by and discuss the products with you face to face, across the dinner table. In...

Oh, for the fortunate few who find the right doctor who hits on the right medication for their mood disorder the first time, making life insurance a simple process. One day it presents as an annoyance and the next as less than that. But more common is the medication...

I watched a Bear Bryll show recently. Yes, I’m a fan because I truly don’t know where my wife might choose to get rid of me and I might have some Bear nugget that will prevent my life insurance being used before it’s time. Anyway, many of you may...

Yet another announcement yesterday from a top of the line life insurance company. No names but it rhymes with Lincoln. I’ve warned, screamed and hollered over the years that assumed interest rates aren’t just assumed, but simply unsustainable so I want you...
