The way 99.9% of life insurance companies treat people with bipolar disorder drives me nuts. I’m not talking about an insurance company that fully underwrites an application and finds out something really sketchy in a person’s history. What slays me is agents that won’t even let you go beyond your admission of bipolar disorder without ...read more

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

Big giant disclaimer. We have found several highly rated US life insurance companies that will write foreign nationals living in the US and foreign nationals living outside the US. I have kept this fairly low key until I worked through a few cases, one in Jamaica, one in India and one in Bermuda. This isn’t ...read more

I have, over the years, made it quite clear that there are distinct advantages to buying life insurance when you are young and healthy. It’s not that over 50 life insurance suddenly becomes horribly difficult to obtain. for most of us it is just more expensive due to age and really not that bad when ...read more

As any physician, attorney, dentist or CEO will confess, the journey from student to professional is not one for the faint of heart. For many it can be the most stressful part of their life as physicians reach residency and attorneys study for and take bar exams. Much is expected and there is no slack ...read more

In a post some years ago I was talking about underwriting of mild mood disorders and made a flip comment that it seemed about time that underwriters take another look since most of America and likely most of them were on Prozac or Zoloft or Wellbutrin. Well, I’m not always as effective as I hope ...read more

We all fall into one of three groups in this area, 1. Those who muddle their way through and are able to get back on track by themselves, 2. Those ...read more
