If good customer service cost less than bad customer service, which would you choose. Trick question, right? Let me qualify that question a little. If you knew ahead of time that you were making a major purchase that offered little or no customer service after the...

The way 99.9% of life insurance companies treat people with bipolar disorder drives me nuts. I’m not talking about an insurance company that fully underwrites an application and finds out something really sketchy in a person’s history. What slays me is...

I’m all for rounding off. I mean if I owed someone $9 and I had a ten in my wallet and they didn’t have change I would call it good. I know. I know. One of the reasons I’m not filthy rich or any other kind of rich. There is something of a rounding...

I have decided to completely reverse my feeling about online mega agencies such as Selectquote and Accuquote. I have repeatedly inferred that they are the scum of the life insurance industry, that volume of business is more important than customer service, and that...

As promised I have been on a mission these past several months to prove the worth, or not, of the Infinite Banking system or the Be Your Own Banker concept, whichever title you subscribe to. I ordered and read my 5th edition “Becoming Your Own Banker” book...

If you make $300,000 or less then this post is probably not for you, unless you can envision a time when your income is higher. Traditional disability income insurance will pay, at most, 65% of your income as a benefit, theoretically what you would net post taxes....

If it isn’t crystal clear by now, it should be. People applying for life insurance with a current or past history of well controlled depression, anxiety, ADD, ADHD, bipolar disorder and other mood disorders are being abusively rated or declined by most life...

It’s no secret that by far the majority of my non private pilot clients have been declined for life insurance before they came to me. There is just something about being declined that is personal, a little humiliating, maybe scary and really ticks people off....
