I rarely get off the subject of life insurance but occasionally there are things that just baffle me and what better place to get them off my chest. What is all this nonsense with “Somalian pirates”? I would accuse them of being brainless idiots for...

Billing for a life insurance policy, unless paid by automatic bank draft, usually comes a few weeks before the due date. What happens if you miss that bill or if you moved and forgot to notify your agent or the company? Protection for these types of occurrences is...

Let’s don’t mince words on this subject. If someone is 40% overweight they are twice as likely to die prematurely than someone of average build. It’s not the fat that kills you, but the strain that all that extra weight puts on your body making you a...

A headline hit me this morning. You know, one of those that sucks you right out or your routine and sends you off chasing rabbits of another color. US News and World Report seems to have rifled through my blog posts and come up with 7 (only 7?) important things you...

Amazing to me the number of people who die with life insurance in force and who spaced out two little details, telling someone that there is insurance and telling them where to find the policy. Because our batting average is less than 100% for turning contacts into in...

I am often asked by clients and potential clients if I sell business liability insurance, car insurance, medicare supplements and the full gamut of insurance products available and my answer is Wyoming raised simple, “Nope, I just sell life insurance”. It...

Not a week goes by that I don’t talk to someone with a history of cancer. They would like to have life insurance, just like anyone, but insurance quotes take a bit more leg work. It’s often a stretch and often means going back to doctors and asking for the...

Just when you thought I was through yelling, Prudential just announced today that their least expensive term insurance product, simply the best deal going in the $1,000,000 and up amounts will have a rate increase effective May 1. You know that stomach crunching...
