I can tell you without hesitating that I wouldn’t be in the life insurance business if I was just churning out easy business and that isn’t to say I couldn’t make good money doing it. It is the challenges of working with underwriters to find a way to...

I’m working on one of those stranger than fiction life insurance cases right now. When I shopped it and got the first round of responses I literally sent all of them back out and ask them if they had read my request correctly. Surely they had missed something...

Using the tax free death benefit of life insurance for estate protection sure isn’t a new idea, but consider the challenge of a widow that has too much income, not as rare as I thought. I am working with a woman in her early 70’s, a retired company CEO,...

I understand that there are quite a few very fine life insurance companies that are domiciled in Canada, but having said that there are some compelling reasons for considering US life insurance companies for personal, and especially for business coverage. Among those...

The obvious answer is of course I would buy the battleship if he had one just because I would be the only person in Silver City, NM to own a battle ship. There’s even a big enough lake a few hours from here to float it in although I’m not sure you could...

For me there was really nothing to come to grips with. I’ve seen the new 60 become 65 and the new 65 become 70 and I’ve seen the government tweak social security so that the longer you don’t take it the more money you are paid (per month), or put...

I have felt like my train jumped the tracks, or was intentionally derailed over these past few weeks. I was the victim of lies perpetrated by a large life insurance company and because of that, forgive me, I gave a lot of people hope that they might soon be able to...

Ok, so I’m kind of on a rip about business life insurance and business executives lately, but what I’m finding is that there seem to be a lot of CEO’s and other executives that are paying way too much for their business life insurance or have been...
