Little did I know growing up that I was being raised by a woman of subtle, soft spoken genius. When I grew up and discovered that vegetables didn’t all come from a can, I was sure I had been short changed not only from a taste standpoint, but my long term health...

We all have our way of doing things and I am convinced that there may be more than just a handful of people out there who disagree with me when it comes to how to handle life insurance in their lives, but bear with my bear analogy and see if there isn’t just a...

Whether it is epilepsy or another seizure disorder, the diagnosis is not necessarily a dead end for life insurance approvals. The key to approval and reasonable rates is control. Seizure disorder is another one of those life insurance issues that evokes a knee jerk...

The amount of misinformation, or overblown information concerning bipolar disorder is troubling especially to those who are trying to overcome the stigma in their lives and in quests such as trying to apply for life insurance. Bipolar disorder, for many, conjures up...

Eat your vegetables! They’re good for you!…….Yes Mom. Actually it didn’t come down quite like that for me. Most vegetables I grew up with were some strange strain that came in a can. A distinctly different species from what comes out of a...

In my experience it is the guys in this world that not the brightest lights on the block when it comes to preventive measures like using sunscreen, wearing hats and not overexposing themselves to the sun. I would put my money on men to be the first sex to be...

There aren’t many weeks that go by without hearing from someone who has finally figured out that they should have life insurance…..because their own mortality has been flashed before their eyes. This can come in the form of losing a friend or loved one or...

For all that have been following my posts on breast cancer, and specifically by mother’s breast cancer, I thank you for your prayers. As I have mentioned before, my Mom is not in the market for life insurance, but I believe that her experience and process offers...

With each new magazine or bulletin, my love/hate relationship with AARP is souring. I’m having a hard time feeling the love these days. I got their most recent bulletin (cheaper than a magazine advertising mode) today. An article caught my eye that had to do...

This is certainly in the top 10 questions I get from clients considering what product will best serve their life insurance needs. When I explain that a 10 or 20 year term is really not designed or priced to go beyond those guaranteed periods I usually get the stock,...

It is a common belief that a life insurance agent’s offer of an annual review of your policy is nothing more than a ploy to try to get you to buy more insurance. I know from experience with my own clients that many are so sales phobic that their honest belief is...

For those of us who own and operate small businesses, we pour all we have into feeding our family, paying our employees and hopefully leaving something of value behind to our heirs. For many that entrepreneurial drive is cut short by a premature death and without...

As I wrote that title it occurred to me that I might be showing my age. The advertising slogan for Prudential used to be (may still be?) “Own a piece of the rock”. Anyway, Prudential is a stand alone company when it comes to their treatment. In an article...

As discussed last week, in an effort to kind of lay out the process that a woman goes through when diagnosed with breast cancer, my Mom has been gracious enough to let me talk about her experience. I believe there is some very real relevance in that, if my Mom was a...

To a guy this makes perfect sense. From my own experience I can tell you that most women, especially those married to guys that feel fine, don’t share that philosophy. Unlike us guys, they think doctors are serious about the importance of annual physicals and...
