I get that business people get tired of hearing about all of the kinds of insurance they should be carrying because I am one. I carry more than what’s required by law in errors and omissions insurance just because of the litigious nature of our country. I err on...

People living with sleep apnea are at risk of dying and that seems to be what troubles the majority of life insurance companies and life insurance underwriters. The same could be said for people living with anxiety or mild depression. In this time we’re living...

The obvious answer is of course I would buy the battleship if he had one just because I would be the only person in Silver City, NM to own a battle ship. There’s even a big enough lake a few hours from here to float it in although I’m not sure you could...

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...

No, that’s not a typo. When it comes to business life insurance and insurance for people with high net worth, spending up to hundreds of thousands a year on life insurance is really not that uncommon. And anytime you are buying life insurance what you spend is...

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...

Ok, so I’m kind of on a rip about business life insurance and business executives lately, but what I’m finding is that there seem to be a lot of CEO’s and other executives that are paying way too much for their business life insurance or have been...

When the dot.com industry hit the world we suddenly had CEO’s and Presidents of companies who were young, healthy and like the rest of us at that age, immortal. With immortality comes a seemingly valid reason for a CEO to not buy life insurance, or even...

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...

We are a product of our parents and grandparents and I know my Dad was one of those guys who’s goal was to always get it right the first time. Having grown up in that shadow I know that one of my pet peeves is having to do something twice. I like to get it right...

While I believe it would be characterized as mild, there seems to be quite a bit of evidence pointing to the fact that most life insurance companies have gone through a manic period of underwriting mood disorders. For the past several years depression, anxiety and...

Any of us who have financial responsibilities should have life insurance to cover the need. I carry life insurance that would pay off rental property and our home if I died, leaving my wife with an income stream and no debt. I carry some more that would replace the...

The CEO of a Denver based company contacted me today. He was shopping for life insurance and because he was a private pilot with almost no current flight time, as in none for 4 years, he was getting quotes that were through the roof. When you need millions in life...

Drop the word insurance out of there and reality is that with success in life comes challenges that even the most on the ball folks aren’t ready for. How a person deals with those challenges can affect how they are perceived when they apply for life insurance....

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...
