This was first written back in 2011 and, strangely, the older I get the more it makes sense. I thought I would dust it off and see if could have some rewritten value added for you. All the best. Nothing Else Is The Same At 60 As It Was 30! Why Would Life Insurance Be...

I wrote this post 8 years ago and now we are in a pandemic and life insurance is starting to come into focus for a lot of people, so thank you for accepting this update. All the best. The Way It Was! My Dad died 11 years ago this month at age 84 and had a total of...

I first wrote this post in late 2018. It’s a subject I feel deeply about and have written about since I started this blog 13 years ago. Growing old is not for the faint of heart, and there are life insurance companies out there whose sole purpose is to scare you...

I don’t think there is a topic I have ranted and raved about more than the universal life insurance products with non guaranteed cash value features that are collapsing left and right due to the low interest environment imposed by the Fed over the last 15 years....

Ah, the joys of being somewhere post mid life and nearly as old as dirt. It seems that we get focused on the negatives like the aches and pains and trying to figure out if retirement is a gift or a joke, and we don’t take time to grab on to the big advantages...

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...

For the sake of this post let’s assume that from a life insurance perspective we would all live to about 90, well above the average mortality rate at least for Americans. And we’ll call that perfect! So life insurance should be free, right, if we all live...

Retirement in 1975 meant a gold watch or some other trinket and a check in the mail every month. That was 40 years ago and I suspect if you look far enough you can find people that still retire like that, but the new retirement norm is a whole different scene. And...

Well, yet another “market correction”. I’m not a pessimistic guy by nature but the wealth, as modest as it might for the average American, seems to be held together by almost nothing at times. I wonder if the stock market wisdom of the ages, to sit and stay, is always...

That phrase is usually followed by a conversation that you may end up feeling you really didn’t need to have, but I’m here with a breath of fresh air, a talk we need to have about how to get better life insurance rates when you have diabetes. Why now? Why...

There is absolutely nothing wrong with being approved for life insurance at a standard rate class or higher, unless you qualify for a better rate class through another company. There are a large number of companies that don’t even offer multiple rate classes....

I know that the permanent life insurance guys would like you to believe that your need for life insurance might grow as you age or at least stay the same, but the facts of life really point in the opposite direction. Life insurance needs generally become smaller as...

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 found out yesterday that business life insurance isn’t always for what I would call work related purposes. I got a call from the founder, CEO and chief laborer of a company that films shark fishing. Interesting case because literally what the key man life...

The CEO or President of a company, other than having more responsibility than most, is just like everyone else in this great country of ours. When it comes to life insurance they are subject to the same unscrupulous or poorly equipped life insurance agents and...
