I have tried to reach out to all of my clients that have been consumed by Protective Life over the years. Empire General, West Coast Life, Federal Kemper, Zurich Kemper, Chase and on and on to let them know that when Protective Life got all of those term life...

My mother never told me running a small business was easy. In fact it went something more like, “wouldn’t you be better off getting a real job?” I wrote that in 2007, one of the first posts to this forum. I have been self employed since 1978, most of...

I thought it would be good to revisit some of the original posts on this forum. It’s been over 5 years and somewhere near a million words now and I wanted to see if I’m like a politician and flip flop on issues, or as I found in a few cases, the issues...

If I’ve gone a month in the last three years without talking about conversion options and the mean spirited way some life insurance companies have treated it, forgive me. There is nothing I am quite so passionate about as beating the ugly truth completely to...

I would be the first to insinuate that the agent that sold that term policy to you has a better chance of being in another profession now than not. Good reality check. When was the last time they called you just to let you know they are there if you need them? Far too...

I know that when I am shopping for something, for instance a car, I am very straight forward, even blunt, about what I want and how much I am willing to spend. I let the sales person know that it’s OK if they can’t meet my needs, but that changing anything...

As West Coast Life dips slowly below the sunset, absorbed by their sister company Protective Life, I can only say, well, I actually can’t say it. Never has a company deserved to come to an end more than West Coast Life. Please don’t think these words have...

Remember the “dress for success” thing that started back in the 70’s? I think it was probably a reaction to the way most people my age decided to dress in the 60’s. It never really worked for me. Every time I dressed for success, even if I got...

In what appears to be a screeching halt to the bottoming out of term insurance prices, several companies moved within the past month to unseat perennial term insurance giant Banner Life, a subsidiary of Legal and General America. Banner responded today by lowering...

Here we go again with the economy and all of our investments. Just as I did a few years ago I need to dust off a bit useful suggestion and reach out again. Investment counselors are trained to say that the market is cyclical and that you shouldn’t freak out in...

Most of my work has been finding the best life insurance prices for people with impaired health, impaired risk life insurance. I won’t make any wild claims about being the best there is out there, but we are in a constant state of education and refining of...

I can hear the whole life insurance guys once again musing about what kind of a nut case would recommend term life insurance during crazy economic times. Well guys, I’m back!! For those over 50 and over 60 life insurance may be the only way to salvage the...

I got a company memo today, that in light of all of the companies who have gone the wrong direction in the last year, caught my eye. “Delivering on Promises”. I wasn’t even sure what it was going to be about but I was pretty sure this would be...

The debate will probably continue well past me and all of those joined in the discussion at this time. Is term life insurance an appropriate financial planning tool? The debate used to be term insurance versus whole life insurance. Then came universal life insurance...

I had a comment to a post I wrote last year over the weekend. This person stated, “As a non financially educated guy, I have a really hard time understanding how people in the same industry can have such varying opinions how to insure oneself.” This...
