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 need for her to work. She’s ...read more

I’ve brought this up in the past in response to a very real need with missionaries. Traditional life insurance isn’t horribly friendly to folks doing mission work outside of the country, a knee jerk reaction to the fact that there are some places in the world where mission work can be dangerous.

It’s a given that most companies would carry key man life insurance or buy/sell life insurance on the CEO. Any company that thinks they are too small or too large for CEO life insurance coverage really hasn’t thought through what would happen if that person didn’t show up to work on Monday. When that question ...read more

The two things you can count on, death and taxes, right? Well, done correctly at least the two don’t need to be mixed. The Gold Nugget in life insurance death benefits has always been the fact that the proceeds are not income taxable. If you take out $500,000 worth of life insurance and die, your ...read more

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 that in life insurance and she’s ...read more

Being a small business person myself I know that there are plenty of opportunities to bust your budget if you take everyone’s advice, get all the best bells and whistles and make your business 99.99% bombproof.

If you make $300,000 or less then this post is probably not for you, unless you can envision a time when your income is higher. Traditional disability income insurance will pay, at most, 65% of your income as a benefit, theoretically what you would net post taxes. This means that the maximum benefit at $300,000 ...read more

Did you know that you have the right to name a second person to receive bills and notices for your life insurance policy? I have no idea what the number really is, but I am betting the number of death benefits that aren’t paid every year due to a policy lapsing accidentally is significant. This ...read more
