Just to follow on up on all the discussion that started with my post last week that will follow “Fat March” participants as they lose weight on national TV. I felt it would be informative for anyone who is dealing with weight issues to know that life...

The answer to that question has changed some over the years. In the 70’s the rule was that you could pretty much buy all of the life insurance you could pay for. If you made $20,000 a year and wanted to use half of that to buy a $10 million dollar life insurance...

Barry Bonds now has more home runs than anyone in history. 756!! I tried hitting 50 mph balls in a batting cage one time and hit like one out of twenty or so and it was not home run material. I’m impressed. Some people say he got there with the use of steroids....

The question comes up with some frequency. Someone is pregnant and it suddenly dawns on them that life insurance is a good idea because there’s going to be this little “insurable interest” (industry term) running around before long. Can I get life...

While it may be too late for those of us who grew up in the 50’s and 60’s, wearing our sunburns with pride, using sunscreen can certainly cut down on future cases of skin cancer. We have gone over the life insurance underwriting differences of the three...

A client today from Indiana, was telling me about their life insurance policy that was good until 2064. That would be to her age 95. She, like so many people, are really not quite clear on what they have. In her case she had a 30 year term policy. The guaranteed level...

The number of health problems that could be avoided with a change away from fast food eating habits is huge. The amount of money that could be saved on life insurance if that habit were shot and left for dead would be huge. But ours’ is a society that is easily...
