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...

This is a question that comes up occasionally. Usually someone wants to bind new coverage because the price just went up on their old policy, or because they want something in force for business purposes or due to upcoming travel. The old way of “binding”...

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...

I’m starting to think my soapbox needs a tune up. I started late last year warning about the appearance of the impending end of the downward trend in term insurance rates. I also started fussing about what appeared to be a shift in both the price, rate...

I was asked by my office manager this morning if bipolar disorder/manic depressive disorder was more prevalent in people around her age, in her 30’s, than people my age, in my 50’s, because the majority of people who react to our advertising and blogs are...

I’ve often written in the past about the value, actually the necessity of getting trial offers on any case that doesn’t fit into cookie cutter underwriting guideline molds for life insurance. And frankly, unless the mold it is already in is the best rate...
