When Dave Ramsey talks about taking care of the basics, housing, food, utilities and such, he hits right at the core of what life insurance is all about. Life insurance isn’t about enriching those left behind. It’s about making sure they can live on...

Having group life insurance through your job or organization is certainly one of the top excuses for not buying a personal life insurance policy. After all, if you already have it, why buy more. No physical. No muss or fuss, and group insurance is generally sooo...

YRT, yearly renewable term life insurance, has been around for a long time. Really the original term insurance, it has a rate that is guaranteed. Unfortunately it is guaranteed to go up substantially every year. YRT starts out with a very low first year price. For...

This all went a little quicker than even I had anticipated. I shared a few weeks ago that I was applying for term life insurance on myself, a replacement of some terms that seemed prudent to extend. Because of some past health history impacting a previous application...

I’ve been blogging since the first of the year about the coming changes in universal life products that have external no lapse guarantees. Well, there’s good news and bad news on that front. The good news is that it is still available from the top...

The idea of burial life insurance is something that has been slow to evolve and is often misunderstood. In its’ purest form it is a contract taken out with a mortuary and for an up front payment they promise that a burial is prepaid. What people should be coming...

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 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...

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...

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...

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...

The trend never seems to end. Men especially aren’t real keen on regular checkups with their doctors and have this almost childlike view of mortality. They’re sure people get sick and die, but it’s certainly not them or anyone remotely close to their...
