If it wasn’t just plain sick the way AARP treats it’s members, it might be laughable. AARP holds itself out as an advocate for just about everything for us seniors. In fact they are so excited about being able to be an advocate for you that they start...

OK. It’s been months, but Suze Orman has crawled back out of her cave and pretended that she knows all that needs to be known about life insurance. I am a huge advocate of the fact that term life insurance works well for most life insurance needs. The truth is...

There’s probably none of us who haven’t known someone whose family has gone through a terminal illness of a family member. The anticipation of the loss, the battling against the inevitability of the loss, the tremendous expense and strain of the process...

In my last post I hope I made a clear distinction between a life insurance agent who is qualified to handle cases that involve health issues, and those who really shouldn’t play with sharp objects. At the end I alluded to the definitive way to separate the two...

Return of premium term life insurance is certainly a hot topic these days, so where do you turn to get an unbiased analysis of whether or not it is a good fit for your financial needs? I guess my best advice is simply to steer clear of anyone that thinks it’s...

Just one last thought for the day. Mortgage life insurance has been one of the biggest rip offs since it’s inception. No matter how it’s packaged it ends up costing far more than you need to spend. I just found a great example. This particular agency wants...

I have often talked about the reality of buying life insurance through your local auto and homeowner’s agent, that reality being a high cost at best and absurdly conservative underwriting which doesn’t favor anyone with any kind of health issue. Most of...

It’s generally the drama of the week around here. Someone has applied for insurance only to find out that they are fatter than they thought, their cholesterol of blood pressure is higher than the guidelines because they never check it, or their rate is approved...

It seems that every time I write about whole life insurance and the fact that any positive attributes it may have had at some point in history are gone, someone feels the need to point out what an idiot I am. I take it all with a grain of salt since the stern...

I’ve talked to so many people that assume they are all set because their job offers a cheap group life insurance plan. I’ll be the first to say that if it’s inexpensive I think you ought to take advantage of it. What is a concern to me and should be to you, is...

Life insurance shouldn’t be a luxury. Something that you can buy when times are good and can be dropped when things get tight. The need for life insurance, if anything, is more essential during bad economic times. Not that there is a good time to leave a family...

Often when a person gets into their 70’s, life insurance choices have to be studied more carefully. In most cases there is only one term option left, the 10 year term insurance. If that doesn’t work for you, the only other practical option is a universal...

I’ve heard every possible pitch as to why whole life insurance is a good idea. Did you know that we might not have Disney World if it weren’t for whole life insurance? I’ve said so many times that whole life insurance used to be the only way to have...

I was asked by my pastor to offer my thoughts on life insurance to the people attending the Dave Ramsey Financial Peace University seminar at our church. Anyone who’s read my blogs knows that I am huge on leaving money in people’s pockets. Dave Ramsey is...

There’s really never been bad news when it comes to life insurance underwriting of type 2 diabetes. Would people with diabetes like to pay less for life insurance? Of course they would, which puts them in the same boat with all of us who don’t have...
