Each day brings another reason to be more impressed by just how stupid the majority of men are. If you’re a guy and don’t want to hear this, let your wife read it. Women get this stuff. I just talked to an agent friend of mine who worked with a client last...

I can remember when life insurance was sold from vending machines in airports. “Flight” insurance I think they called it. Really put my mind at ease. While that has come and gone, some travel still carries with it a risk worth considering. With our global...

I realize that this is like one of those insurance guy things. We get all excited when some really good product is about to change (not for the better), or we get wind of a rate increase. It’s a chance to get the word out and hopefully do something good for...

Just yesterday I posted some guidelines on what it takes to get good life insurance rates if you have diabetes. Today I read a sometimes funny and sometimes poignant take on life with type 2 diabetes on DLife.com. I have a true appreciation for those who can keep a...

There’s something about one of those weeks when I get 10 pieces of mail from AARP touting all of their worn out, rip off products that just makes me want to talk about it. Since my Mom doesn’t care and my wife doesn’t want to hear it again, thanks...

To be honest there is good news and bad news. The bad news is that those life insurance companies who are “diabetic friendly” are in fact very “Ltd”….limited. The good news is that there are a handful of companies that are very fair and...

For those that don’t smoke there is a virtual log jam of companies scrapping it out for those who qualify for the best rate classes. Not so if smoking is part of your portfolio. For those who smoke it is imperative that you use an agent that has access to all of...

I’m often asked, after the fact, what it takes to get the best life insurance rates. While I would be hard pressed to cover everything that could be hiding in your medical records, I can provide a general rundown based on the exam, labs, family and personal...

I’m always talking about others and their trials and tribulations in quest of the best life insurance rates they can find. For a change of pace I thought I would take you along on my own life insurance application adventure. I have two term insurance policies...

Just for minute let’s pretend this wild scenario could happen. You talk to two life insurance agents and tell them both the same health information. One gives you a quote that your life insurance policy will cost $1000 a year and the other says it will cost...

Suze Orman, the queen of life insurance misinformation, has riled up the folks at MSN Money now. I thought they kind of soft peddled it a bit in their claim that she doesn’t have a clue about anything. While MSN took exception to her ridiculous investment...

For those that sell whole life or universal life they would have everyone believe that term insurance is a product developed by insurance companies to keep from paying death benefits. The only way to have life insurance is to have it go on for life, says them. What...

Talk about a sensitive issue. The truth is that being overweight isn’t an easy thing to be and it isn’t an easy thing to talk about, and when you are told your life insurance will cost more because of it, it feels like a slap in the face. Having said that,...

Actually rather than the best change, I think the word clarification is more precise. Sometimes it truly isn’t who you know, but what you know about what underwriters need to see. Case in point is bipolar disorder. Two years ago I didn’t have a clue about...
