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...

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...

It’s not likely that I will live long enough to actually hear every argument for not buying life insurance, but the truth is that the only thing that replaces life insurance is liquid assets, wealth. Life insurance really has two main purposes. Peace of mind is...

There has been no lack of financial “wisdom” floating around since our economy skipped right past recession and into economic meltdown. The Suze Ormans and Warren Buffets and Dave Ramseys have all espoused the time tested “don’t freak out and...

Ah, the almost age old question, term versus whole life. What is the right thing to do? Forgive me for being more than just a little opinionated on this subject, but personally I think that is a right for anyone that is on the right side of an argument. Whole life...

“Should I have life insurance?” The determining question for me is the presence of a need that can’t be met in another way. In a world that is defined a little more each day by I, me, mine, there is a tendency to dismiss the impact that our premature...

This is a good time to consider how you are paying for your life insurance because as this recession deepens, strict budgeting is becoming more and more a necessity. When it comes to life insurance bills there are definitely different feelings about how often and how...

Not a week goes by that I don’t get to have the “reality” discussion with someone about the fact that life insurance rates have been dropping steadily over the past 10-15 years. That fact is absolutely 100% true for some people. First, the biggest...

One in six men who reach age 26 in our country will not make it to age 64. For women it is one in nine. I live in a small town in the “Heart of the Rockies”, Salida, Colorado. Around here when someone passes away, everyone knows it. When someone passes...

It’s tough. No, it’s scary to be proactive in an economic meltdown of the proportions that we are experiencing right now, but it may mean the difference in your family’s future. There’s no surprise that I would want to talk about life...
