What I Really Think About Life Insurance
It’s probably the most cliched expression around, but time really does fly. I can’t believe May was the last time I posted to this blog. In my defense, I’ve been working on our expansion into the property and casualty market and on our new website: www.suncoastinsuranceandfinance.com. But this morning I was inspired and drawn back here [...]

As the world around you changes, insurance keeps your world the same
Everything seems to be changing these days. My fiance, who was a Sagittarius his whole life, is now an Ophiuchus. And he can’t even pronounce it! Oh-fee-uh-cus??? I don’t know and don’t much care either; I’m still a Virgo. But now there are new dietary guidelines too. They are probably a thousand pages long, so [...]

Three Reasons We Insure
Today marks a tragic day in history. Twenty-five years ago, the Challenger space shuttle exploded before our country’s children. I was 10-years-old at the time, sitting in my elementary school classroom. My music teacher went to college with Christa McAuliffe - the first schoolteacher in space. Maybe every school in America was as excited as we were, but [...]

Free Insurance
My grandfather died 45-years ago. He was only 44 years-old and at the time had five children ranging in age from eight to eighteen. My mom was the oldest and had a baby herself. She and my father lived in the mother-in-law suite attached to her parents house. She remembers the transition well. When she was growing up, her mother was [...]

Differing Opinions on Children’s Life Insurance
I’ve recently discovered Wallet Pop; it’s a great blog. They label themselves “your friendly consumer finance site.” As much as I love the site, I have to disagree with the presence of children’s life insurance on Jean Chatzky’s list of 10 insurance policies that aren’t worth the money. This is her objection: “This is often marketed [...]

Life Insurance Statistics
Continuing on the theme of life insurance because it is life insurance awareness month, here are some statistics I found on LIMRA’s site: Only 44 percent of U.S. households have individual life insurance. This is a 50-year low. Among households with children under 18, arguably having the greatest need for life insurance, 11 million have no [...]

Life Insurance for the Children You Love
Yesterday I blogged about why we buy life insurance – for those we love. It’s an unselfish purchase that offers financial stability to the ones closest to us. But too often people only consider it a necessity for their spouses. Not true. Albeit for different reasons, life insurance is still an extremely important purchase for those under twenty-five. It offers your child or grandchild [...]

September is Life Insurance Awareness Month
Life insurance is less about you and more about those you love. As my fiance and fellow life insurance agent would say, “If something happens to me, at least you’ll be wiping your tears away with hundred dollar bills.” All joking aside, you don’t want to leave your love broken-hearted and broke. Life is unexpected; [...]
